Keeping Your Lawn Weed Free
May 24, 2011
A weed free lawn is a sight to behold! Sometimes home sellers forget that a green and weed free lawn encourages potential buyers to looks inside the home. A well trimmed lawn is also a big neighborhood enhancer. I thought I would share some tips for maintaining a weed free yard. These tips come from a book entitled "Fix it, Clean it, and Make it Last". by the editors of FC&A Publishing.
"Maintain your lawn with regular feeding, watering, and mowing.
In Flower beds, use a mulch that's two to four inches deep to help prevent weed seeds from germination.
Plant shrubs in dense groupings and seed over your grass to choke out weeds.
Don't water too much; give the amount needed according to what's planted.
Remove weeds from root balls of trees and potted plants that you bring into your yard.
When you see a weed, carefully take it out by hand, roots and all."
There are many commercial herbicides and pre- emergent chemicals that can assist you in conquering the unwanted plants. Once you have attained a wed-free yard, you will find that the maintenance can become less timely and the pleasure in the results rewarding.
