Grass- weeds

[Give it to Ron]

For the gardeners on here...what do you use to get rid of the weeds on the garden lawn?

I tried weed and feed and yep the buggers certainly fed on it.....its nearly all weed now.

Pull out the weeds that you can and mow the lawn regularly. You might not get rid of them all but you'll slow them down.

Pull them up, dry them out and smoke them......

 

With that rain we have just had things are growing very well at the moment

I was ****ed off with her for what I thought was a waste of money, but I was proved wrong. It really did make a difference to the lawn.

Use a quality granular weed and feed i.e Evergreen. Apply it when rain is imminent - preferably prior to a nice period of unsettled weather. If you water it in with a sprinkler it's not the same and if you're not careful you can end up washing it away. The granuals are slow release and natural rain is the way to go. Also don't bother with an applicator or reading the dosages too much. Buy too much for the area you want to treat and cast it liberally with your hand. Avoid overdosing problem areas though as it'll just burn the lawn. Give it a week before you mow it and don't have your blade too low - this is the classic reason for a poor lawn. If you've got moss you're better off scarifying it after the weed and feed has worked. This will leave your lawn looking a mess, but next year it'll be worth it.
