Herb and vegetable gardens were sprayed to kill clover and other weeds. How soon can we pull up weeds? I read that we should wait 3 weeks before planting grass - does that apply to planting herbs, vegs, and flowers?
Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to be used around anything edible like vegetables. It is also a vegetation management product, which means that it is not very selective, so it will kill almost anything that it is sprayed on, including the edible plants. You will need to wait at least 3 weeks before replanting in areas areas where Crossbow Herbicide has been applied. You will need to wait at least 1 year after application to plant any edibles intended for human consumption. We would not recommended consuming anything from the current plants in the garden and disposing of anything contaminated by spraying.
