Rethink fertilizers and pesticides this spring!
If you have a few weeds, eliminate them before they spread.
Use the “ounce of prevention” approach to weeds – if you stop ten from developing, you won’t have a million to deal with. Look for weed seedlings every time you mow and persistently eliminate them before they get a foothold and spread. Pull them out by hand using a weed fork or use a vinegar-based herbicide.
