How to Manage Weed on your Lawn?

Page 1

How can you manage weeds on your lawn? Three ways to get rid of weed grass: 1. Remove the weed grass by hand: If you are able to remove the weed grass by hand, it is best to do so before it spreads further. Cut the weed grass down to ground level with a sharp pair of scissors or garden shears. Be sure to wear gloves and avoid getting weed grass sap on your skin. 2. Use a herbicide: If you cannot remove the weed grass by hand, you may want to consider using a herbicide to kill it. Herbicides can be purchased at most gardening stores or online. Follow the instructions on the herbicide package carefully to ensure successful weed grass control.

3. Clear away broken stalks: Broken stalks of weed grass will not grow back and can be cleared away by hand or with a garden rake.


When Can I Spray My Lawn With Weed Killer? You can spray your lawn when the weeds are actively growing, but you should wait until the plants are 2 inches tall. Make sure to read the product’s label carefully to determine how long the active growth period is. Don’t use a product that will kill your plants before they reach 2 inches tall. Here are three types of lawn sprays that can be used to control weed grass: 1. Glyphosate Herbicides: These are the most common type of lawn spray and are usually used to kill weeds. Glyphosate herbicides work by breaking down the plant’s chemical structure. This makes the plant unable to grow and spread weed grass. 2. Direct-seeding Herbicides: Direct-seeding herbicides work by killing the weed before it can grow. They are less common than glyphosate herbicides, but they are more effective at controlling weed grass. 3. Premixes: Premixes come in a variety of formulas and can be used to control a variety of weeds, including weed grass. Premixes contain both glyphosate herbicides and direct-seeding herbicides, so they are more effective than individual herbicide products.
