Kill Weeds

What is the best way to "get rid of weeds"? I hate weeds and killing them throughout the spring, summer and fall months is a big time job for me. And, if you are reading this article you too are probably wondering "how can I keep weeds from coming back year after year."

Thousands of weed killing products on the market today, which ones work best, and what is the secret? Well, there is no secret but there are many ways to keep your yard, landscape or property weed free.

Weeds grow in just about any place, in cement and asphalt cracks, around ornamental plants, shrubs and trees. And during the spring they sprout out just about everywhere.

Just a little sprinkle of rain can get them started faster than you and I can pull them out. Sooo here are some great ways to blast those weeds away and help keep them from coming back.

Early Spring: Use a weed seed preemergence that will prevent these weeds from germinating. You will need to apply this product where ever weeds were present from the previous year. This will not kill any weeds that are currently growing or that are visiable.

Preemergence is usually in a granular or powdered form and needs to be watered in after applying. This will eventually turn into a oily substance that will cover the weed seeds thus preventing them from germinating.

Note: If you have planted other types of seeds in that area these will NOT germinate.

Use Roundup™ to kill existing weeds. The newest type of Roundup™ can now kill down to the roots. Remember Roundup™ will also kill anything green that it comes in contact with. Always spray during a non-windy day. If weeds are in your lawn you can use a product called weed-out plus™ and most Retail greenhouses or nurseries will have this product year round. It will not harm ornamental grasses but will kill weeds in your lawn.

It comes in a liquid form and needs to be sprayed on according to the instructions...Yes read the instructions!

Mid Summer: Any remaining weeds should be pulled by hand roots and all...Oh I know lots of dirty hard work. But this methods works very well and hiring the next door kid is really inexpensive.

It is important to remember that all weeds will produce seeds. Cutting, mowing or even pulling them by hand will drop more seeds into your lawn or landscape.

The biggest deterrent to a weed-free lawn is continuous maintenance. Regular watering and a fertilizing schedule will work wonders on any type of grass. Bermadua grasses will choke out many types of weeds if it is well maintained.

Color Your World Nurseries will always have the products mentioned here during the spring, summer and fall seasons.
