If there has been weed killer and what not sprayed around a yard or garden, when is it safe to move your tortoise to that yard? How long does it take for chemicals to grow out or to no longer be a threat to your tortoise? ?

Also...I don't know what you mean when referring to "what not"..the time may need to be even longer depending on what what not means...
My boyfriend has done an amazing job landscaping and cleaning up the yard at his new house but it's involved getting rid of alot of weeds, vines, and unwanted grass. So I'm not sure exactly what has been used.. I've just seen alot of spraying
This is bad. I would wait at least one year and do your best to trim back all plants that were sprayed and cut back any grass. Lots of weather and watering will reduce the amounts of poisons and dilute them, but traces will be present.
I hate the lawn chemical industry...
If you were to till up the ground and completely replant grass would there still be issues?
I am not planning to relocated there any time soon, just curious and want to expand my knowledge.

Oh. You will be surprised at how you will discover some of those weeds may later be the exact things you will try to grow for tortoise food..lol. I personally find myself learning more and more this very thing..dandelion being the one most valuable.. it may be helpful to you to research what native weeds are in your area and then cross check those with edibles..it gets fun after awhile..
