[QUOTE="KDM, post: 294427, member: 314"] SLE, I don't know what to say about the germination issue besides get different seed. The weed control problem might be the water you are using. Iron and Calcium ions as well as a couple others will bind to the active ingredients of roundup and render it useless. Here is a list of them from a scientific paper: [U]It is a potent chelator that easily binds divalent cations (e.g., Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe) and forms stable complexes (Toy and Uhing 1964; Cakmak et al. 2009).[/U] So if you aren't using "soft water" and you have high levels of iron and calcium in your water, you may be shooting yourself in the foot so to speak. The other option is to use a different class of chemical for your weed control. Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
