Two points: 1. I can't tell you the coverage rate, but it would seem to me that if your local store wants to do business, they should know or at least be prepared to open the instruction pack. 2. About two weeks ago I mentioned using roundup to remove unwanted weeds and grasses from lawns (apply locally with a kid's paint brush). At that time I didn't know how long it sterilized soil to which it is applied. I have been advised that it is a contact chemical that does not remain in the soil. New planting can occur as little as 3 days later, but it was recommended to wait about 2 weeks just in case.
