It is that time everyone is wanting to clean up the yard, garden, and landscape areas. Tracking w**ds is the first step in controlling them. So here are a few tips to get you started.
Make a List and map the w**ds on your property. This will help on determining the location and what you are dealing with. You want to eliminate as much of your w**ds as possible. As I said “as much as possible”, because w**ds are like a hair cut, you have to constantly maintain to look beautiful.
First you need to kill the w**ds that has been established. This does not mean you will not get new w**ds, LOL. This is why W**d and Feed Fertilizer is required. You want a thick lawn so it needs the vitamins like your body needs (thus the fertilize).
Steps to a thick lawn
1. don't cut grass to short. You will be wasting your money away with the product you bought. The openings make it easy for seed to float in and germinate (established root).
2. Fertilizer ? Why, because it will have a better root system to combat with foot traffic, other stresses like drought, mowing and weather extremes. 4 times a year they say is the best however I do suggest to do at least twice.
1. Early Spring (above 40 degrees - Feb-March,). At this time you should use Prevention for Crabgrass and Feed Lawn
2. Spring (March-April this is 6 weeks after the first w**d & Feed) W**d and Feed - Prevent germination of dandelions and Clover to seed. Plus Feed the lawn at the same time. Remember this is a prevention of need w**d for dandelions, you still need to kill the dandelions that already been rooted (established).
How the w**d spreads all help to determine the best control methods for that particular w**d.
Use an old calendar and list what time of the year:
Flowers are observed (easy to see and identify).
Seeds germinate or dormant plants start to regrow.
W**ds switch from vegetative growth (new growth) to reproductive growth (bolting and pre-bloom to full bloom).
