“I’m having to mow my yard more……”
“I’m having to mow my yard more now than I did last summer!”
That’s what we’ve heard from many people in the past fewweeks. You know why — no rain last summer allowed lawn grasses to become thin. Some rain this fall and winter allowed weeds to pop up in the thin grass. That’s why we are recommending you start applying pre-emergent weed preventers now, instead of waiting till February. Use either Ferti-lome All Seasons (contains fertilizer) or Hi-Yield Weed and Grass Preventer with Dimension (no fertilizer). Either of these will stop the next generation of weeds from sprouting.
If you also want to spray to kill weeds that are already growing, here’s the procedure:
- 1. Mow the lawn
2. Apply pre-emergence and water it in
3. Wait a couple of days
4. Spray with Hi-Yield KillzAll (in Bermuda lawns) or Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone (in St. Augustine lawns).
Be sure to spray on a day that is warm with no wind and no chance for rain.
