    ...do I have to wait before digging over? I used roundup last week on the lawn and while its clearly not completely dead and rotted away, it is yellowing. Would it be ok to dig over now and turn into beds or shall I have to wait a bit longer?

    That's exactly what I did with my new borders two years ago, I dug deep,turned the dying grass face down and left the soil in big clats to let the winter frosts break it down. During early spring I sprayed off any grass and weed growth before planting the border with plants. Nice day tomorrow I think Loofah... so go for it :)

    Once it`s been absorbed by the plant, Loofah, it can be dug in.:thumb:
