I have a question that has nothing to do with food plots, but since there are folks on here with such a wealth of knowledge on all things to do with grasses & plants I thought I'd ask.
I'm going to be planting the roadside ditch at my home to wildflowers. For the most part, it's currently bare dirt & I've sprayed several times thru the spring & summer to control the weeds, which as you can imagine if left unchecked are terrible (wild rose, buffalo burrs, snake weeds, button weeds, milk weeds, etc).
It's kind of a steep ditch (too steep to get any sort of disc on), but I'm going to till it up and drag it smooth as best I can, then plant the wildflowers.
I'm thinking of spraying roundup (or something else someone could recommend), waiting a week or so, till it and plant it immediately after tilling. Am I on the right track? And what should I use to control the weeds until (and even after) the flowers get established?
Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
