Hi guys. Everyone is always asking me how to control weeds in their lawns. One client even showed me a bag of chemical that had fertiliser and herbicide in the same pack. She was all set to go until I showed her the active ingredient list. She couldn't believe that she came within minutes of spreading a famously toxic chemical all over the lawn her grandchildren played on.
Most weeds in established lawns arise from a weakening of the lawn species. A healthy lawn will choke out competition, but a weak lawn will allow gaps to open up, encouraging competition in the yard.
A healthy lawn likes to fully recover from each mowing before it is mowed again. If you mow it too soon it will not have recovered, and will be weakened.
The solution is simple. Lift the mower up. Less grass cut means shorter recovery time and that means less opportunity for weeds to get started. Simple, right?
If you want to know more, or just want your weekend back get in touch. Text or call Clayton on 0402253178. Enjoy your garden. It might be the biggest room in your house.
