Don't wait too late to winterize your turf for the upcoming winter season. Just about now winter weeds will start germinating. If you wait too late to apply your pre-emergent then these vigorous weeds will take root and create havoc in your lawn.
Most of
us do not really understand how a pre-emergent works. When you spray or apply
in granular form a pre-emergent, that product turns into a gas layer right
above your dirt. When a weed seed germinates, the tender plant hits this gas
layer and mutates and then dies. This is why it is so important to apply your
lawn chemicals at the right time. Once a weed has germinated and starts growing
and then you apply your pre-emergent, its to late. Of course, never fear, you
can always apply a post-emergent that will kill existing winter weeds.
With
chemical to use?? Just go to your local garden center and ask a garden expert.
Make sure you come with important information such as what kind of turf you
have and the square footage of your lawn area. Also, double check and read the
directions on the bag to make sure it really is the product you need.
Live Life to the Fullest,
Chris
