Which roundup needs to be used for acacia roots sprouting?

No roundup should ever be used. It ALL CAUSES CANCER AND REPRODUCTIVE ISSUES SUCH AS BIRTH DEFECTS. Please do yourself a favor and read up on this poison. It is terrible. Vote with your dollar and do not support Monsanto. This company that makes roundup also makes agent orange and DDT! Horrible for the world and the people in it. BOYCOTT.

I've used all types of seeds available to purchase. Get organic seeds. Follow the directions from the company you buy from.Sprouting is amazingly good food! Good in salads and good in sandwiches.

I used an AeroGrow set, (which has very small amt of growing medium) but I imagine you could use small pots, or even seed growing kits/egg cartons, just to begin growing the seeds. When approx 2-3 inches transplant to larger pots and/or outside if the weather is agreeable.

I have not received my cuttings as of yet(have made two requests). I have planted in the past, and no you do not need to. I would make sure that you plant in a well draining pot or area though, and after sprouts appear, fertilize. At least I have had luck in the past doing this and it eliminates the chance of burning any rooting before it gets a firm hold.

You will probably want a clear plastic pot. It is easier to see the health of the roots and repot at a later date. Also, I would hazard a guess that the plastic pot has better drainage than the ceramic one.

PJ......I don't recall there being any instructions but since I have been sprouting for years, it wasn't an issue. I use a tablespoon of alfalfa or clover or any other tiny seed per tray. Soak overnight for roughly 8 hours first, then rinse morning and evening. I use 1/4 cup of lentils for lentil sprouts and about the same for garbanzo bean sprouts. Experiment!

I would also buy FoxFarm FX14045 Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz & Cha Ching Soluble Granular Fertilizer Tri-Pack, 3/1-Pound Canisters and use only the open sesame, beastie bloom, and cha-ching by themselves from flowering til harvest. I had good results with these fertilisers.

Round up kills anything that has leaves. It goes in through the leaves. Great on ivy on the ground. Tree ivy has to be cut at the tree base being careful not to cut into the bark of the tree.

Need more than one bag or use Ross Root Soaker. River birch need lots of water. Type of soil a factor too.

I use a high quality growing soil and a germination station. It's been four weeks since I planted them and half of the plants have sprouted.

Read the directions carefully on the crabgrass preventer label to see if anything can be planted after using it. I use Round Up for weeds and the directions say that I can re-plant other plants after so many days or weeks. Some consider the white clover to be a weed so make sure the directions on any product used to eliminate crabgrass or other weeds states that the area can be safely re-planted after a period of time without killing the new plants.

Hi Lynette, if you must use a 6" pot (I use shallower pots) fill 1/2 with earth place 1/8th cup well soaked seeds (use warm water for 1 hour) that you drained and don't worry about overlap they seem to sort themselves out once roots spread; only cover with a light sprinkling of earth, place in a dark place for 2-3 days until they sprout, then place under a florescent or full spectrum light bulb. Good luck, my cat is thrilled and comes by 1-2x a day to be fed. I can't leave the pots for him to nibble alone, he would pull out the entire bed of sprouts and make a mess, so I feed him a couple at a time. You can tell I'm retired;-)

Roundup Extended Control Concentrate may be used for spot treatment to kill individual weeds around trees and shrubs, and in flower gardens. Do not allow spray to drift to desirable plants as it will harm them. This product should only be used around well-established plants. Do not use it around the root zone of plants that are less than 6 months old.

All the sprouts I have tried have worked. There is an insert for tiny seeds that I have not used yet. I have bought mixed seeds and all have sprouted.

If all you need to kill is weedy grass, this chemical will do it -- but takes a long time to work. If it's a mix of grass and broadleaf -- AND there's nothing you want to save -- then I'd use Roundup, which will kill everything and then decay in the soil.
