    I have some spots in my 4 acre bean field that I missed last time I sprayed. The weeds are taking over these small areas. Should I hit them with gly this weekend to keep them from seeding out and germinating next spring? Obviously the growing season for beans is about done, but I am thinking of next years weed control. What do you think? Am I wasting my time and gly?

    I have started to not believe in weed control for the future . If you spray it now, and leave it until spring, there will still be a full bed of weeds there . It has to help some but I would save my time and money for next growing season.

    I agree with Todders. No pay off in doing it now.

    I agree with them as well, not worth it.
