Rid Your Home Garden of Weeds, Part 1



What can you do to rid your home garden of weeds? Most gardeners want their garden to grow like a weed, but they don’t want their garden to have any weeds! Unfortunately, weeds can pop up unexpectedly. You may go out to last year’s plot of prepared land and see uninvited weeds trying to take over. Naturally, you want your lawn to be healthy and free of pesky weeds. It is not easy to keep a garden weed-free, but it is definitely possible.

If you ignore the problem, weeds can take over in no time at all. What should you do to eliminate them? It is important to care for your lawn and home garden diligently. Keep your plants and lawn watered, mowed, and fed. This article discusses a few specific ways to rid your home garden of weeds. When weeds attack your garden - yes, you can defend it!

Start by Pulling the Large Weeds
To start the process of weed elimination, pull, pull, pull. Try to start with dandelions or other large weeds. Dandelions are a common weed found in a variety of gardens. Why should you start by pulling them and others like them? Dandelions reseed themselves in the soil of your garden or lawn when they bloom. If you don’t pull them quickly – before they begin blooming, you’ll have a lot more weed-pulling to do very soon! Therefore, when you first begin to notice the presence of any large flowering weeds, start pulling right away.

Call for Reinforcement: Utilize Your Local Garden Supply Store
If you have a garden, in your yard area, it is wise to be concerned about the health of your entire lawn. After all, weeds don’t decide to carefully reseed outside of your garden. Their seeds can blow right into your well-prepared garden soil. Besides, a healthy lawn well complements any home garden. If you are concerned about the weeds taking over your lawn, be sure to utilize your local garden supply store. Your garden supply store representative can help you select an herbicide that is appropriate for treating your type of lawn. Your herbicide can then be applied to the weeds in your lawn. Don’t over apply the product, as that can kill your grass. Simply follow the directions of the herbicide.
