Soooo how close can I get to "other things" with either of those? Can I put it in my rock bed that edges the house? Will it run out into the yard at all if it gets some water in it? I've used 4" deep black edging around all the beds.
Herbicide question?

I am not a chem expert but It seems like if any water pools up in our pump stations that we have Pramitol on and it runs off you can see a clear path of dead everything for 15-20 yrds. As far as I know Plateau should not do that, if it is mixed correctly. If you have the edging you should be fine. I buy it at our local Cenex Co-op here in Great Falls.

Don't forget that it doesn't just "run" with surface water...it'll leech looooonnnngggg distances underground as well.
The above is in reference to sterilants (particulary crovar), not glyphosate based "round-ups".
Scott, buy some cheap no-name "round-up" (as long as the % glyphosate is the same, it's just as good for what you're doing...not so for actual farming applications) and spray it annually. If you do it in the spring, at the right time, you'll never use 2.5 gallons of the stuff and in two years you'll be weed free (no weeds, no seeds, therefore no new weeds). If you gotta have the real thing, some Home Depots sell full-strength round-up...mix to what it says on the jug...anything more is wasting $$$.

I use Cornerstone.
Just to clarify my situation..
I'm quite sure I mis-spoke when I said sterilant.
I'm confident it was a generic form of Round up.
My ratio must have been borderline, as some areas are dead brown (slower ground speed?) yet some areas look as if they may come back.
I am very fortunate to have an understanding wife who has become used to some of my less than intelligent moves!
Life would suck right now if I had one of those "must have lawn of the week" beotches!
