I have added topsoil over the years and I have limed and put out fertilizer each year. I spray glyphosate at least a month or so before planting and I spray again a few days before tilling the soil. I plant and it seems like everything is dead but as soon as the first rain hits it looks like I am better growing sod than a garden. In a few weeks it is solid grass and green growth. Is there any way to avoid this?

Treflan is a good preemerge, cant use it on corn though.
