Best Ways to Eliminate Overgrown Weeds wekillweeds.com
Depending on your unique situation, effective weed management may include a mix of techniques, such as chemical treatments, preventive measures and physical removal.
Understanding Overgrown Weeds
To choose the best techniques for preventing weed growth, it is essential to identify the different kinds of weeds and how they develop.
Manual Removal Methods
When it comes to weeds, the best ones to pull by hand are the younger ones, the ones with shallow roots and the broadleaf weeds.
To dislodge the roots, it's best to pluck them by hand first thing in the morning while the soil is damp.
Hoes, weeders and trowels are essential for removing weeds with deep roots, such as taproots or dandelions.
The removal of the root is critical because any leftover fragments can regenerate and initiate new growth.
Chemical Control Options
Selective herbicides work best for overgrown weed control in lawns and crops.
Non-selective herbicides destroy most vegetation they come into contact with, making them more suitable for clearing weeds from large areas like roadways.
Both types are extremely effective against weeds that are actively developing; this is because the absorption of their chemicals interrupts vital growth processes.
To minimize drift and prevent herbicides from spreading to unintended areas, it's best to apply them on dry days when there is little to no wind.
Preventative Measures
Mulch the area surrounding your plants with a layer of 2 to 4 inches thick.
Just make sure you are careful not to cover the stems.
Blocking sunlight, delaying seed germination and preserving moisture are three ways in which mulching helps inhibit weed growth.
Regularly mowing, fertilizing and aerating your lawn will create a thick, healthy grass that will choke weeds and keep them from growing.
Any time you need help taking care of your lawn, you can rely on the experts at Custom Weed & Pest Control.
