No More Weeds!
Weeds are the worst adversary of many backyard gardeners. It could seem that pesticide is the most effective technique against weeds. However, many experts suggest avoiding the use of chemicals. They may be detected in fruits and vegetables. They also run off and seep into the earth. Fortunately, there are more efficient ways to control and prevent weeds before they take over. Here are some tips for weed management with a lawn weed control service:
Feed Regularly
The best remedy is regular grass care. When your lawn gets disturbed, it is more prone to become overrun by weeds. Every 6 to 8 weeks throughout the growing season, treat your grass with a lawn fertilizer to keep it thick and lush and limit the space for weeds to develop. Depending on its needs, your lawn may benefit from aeration or dethatching.
Mow Higher
Like all other plants, weed seeds require sunlight to thrive. Before your following cut, raise the height of your mower. Mowing at a greater height, typically one of your mower’s two highest settings encourages grass to grow tall and densely to cover the soil and block sunlight, which reduces the likelihood that weed seeds will germinate and flourish. This grass will therefore be less likely to sprout weeds.
Water Deeply
By receiving thorough, infrequent irrigation, your lawn may be able to outgrow weeds more successfully. Watering plants often and shallowly encourages the formation of shallow roots. The upshot is that during hot and dry times, the grass is more vulnerable and may suffer, creating bare areas that weeds may take advantage of. If your grass develops deep roots, it can become thicker and help fend off weeds.
Maintain Healthy Soil
After you’ve planted weed-repelling, aesthetically pleasing plants, you can keep your plants healthy by utilizing rich, aerated, and well-drained soil. Test your soil and speak with local experts to design the optimal fertilizer plan. Despite the sad fact that weeds may grow in practically any type of soil, fixing the soil can at least give your plants a fair chance.
