According to the product label, you should be able to plant vegetables in 3 days after application. Always read and follow label instructions.

If you'd rather not use chemicals, you can use boiling water, or if you are not in a hurry, you can solarize the soil by covering it with clear plastic for about 6 weeks during the hottest time of the year.
