    After applying Monterey Spurge Power and the weeds are dead, should we dig those up before planting in 4 weeks?

What do I need to do to “clean up” the area before I start planting things such as hostas and azaleas in that area? I know to wait 4 weeks after application before planting. Just curious on what to do after they're dead.

    Q
    Will Monterey Spurge Power kill toothed spurge?
    The label only states spurge. There are several varieties of spurge. I'm particularly interested in if this will kill toothed spurge as a 3 way killer, such as trimec classic, won't touch it. It will kill the common spotted or prostrate spurge. Will the higher concentration of the two chemicals, that is also in trimec with a lower percentage than spurge power, kill toothed spurge?
    A

    Unfortunately, there are few options for post emergent control of Toothed Spurge and even using a non selective such as glyphosate at the highest rates have shown to be ineffective. The only product we can recommend would be Dismiss South Herbicide as it lists annual spurge (toothed spurge) as wel…
