| I didn't realize i bought concentrate weed killer. How long after I applied it can I plant in the area? It's been about 1 1/2 weeks. I've watered the area plus it's rained a few times. |

| I suggest that you call the hot line number on the label of this product. I suspect that this site has been contaminated for quite some time, as it is used as a pre-emergent as well as a contact killer. These herbicides are made to adhere to soil particles so that they can stay in place within the root zone of any plant that comes near it. |

I just called the number and was told it would be 2yrs before I could plant anything. This stinks!! I'm new to gardening. I just needed something to kill the grass as well as the weeds.
live and learn i guess. |

| Thanks for letting us know. Now, I'm not scolding you but here's the general rule about reading labels: Read carefully before purchasing the product; read again before mixing, read again before applying, and read again before storing. :-) I'm not kidding. |
