Spring is coming soon, and that can mean only one thing. It’s time to focus on your lawn and weed care needs. Think it’s too early? Think again. Weeds are highly competitive, and they grow fast. If they exist on your lawn, that means they’re stealing the space and nutrients your grass needs to grow strong and beautiful throughout the warmer months. What can you do to get ahead of lawn and weed care now? These tips can help.
Proper Mowing Techniques
You may not realize this, but mowing can actually change the weed equation. If you mow regularly at the proper height, you’ll shade the soil, and that can mean the seed heads don’t have the chance to take in the sunlight they need to germinate.
Other Techniques
When you’re concerned about weeds that aren’t on your lawn, but are in your flower beds, you have several options. A weed mat is a good way to keep the plants you want safe and deprive the weeds of sunlight. Mulch will typically do the same thing. Additionally, good garden planning to ensure you have enough ground cover in blank areas to help prevent weed growth may mean you never have to pull another weed this year.
