Hello Friends,
Spring is not far off, making now a great time to get started on early spring projects in your gardens, lawn and landscaping. Our March Top Tips article will help you with reminders of what you can do this month to get a good start on the new growing season (linked here and among the articles below). Now is the time to apply Pre-emergent Weed Control to your Lawn and Gardens. Crabgrass is the main target for the pre-emergent step of a lawn program since it spreads by seed. It is important to apply this early in spring before the seeds start to germinate. This treatment will prevent seeds of crabgrass and other weeds and grasses from germinating - so it is only for use on established lawns that will NOT be seeded in spring. Weeds that are already rooted should be targeted with the second step of weed and feed or with spot treatments in late spring. A pre-emergent treatment in the garden beds will help control weeds and grass from starting by seed. Again, only use this treatment in areas where you will NOT be sowing seeds. It is best to remove rooted weeds and grass in beds by pulling or hoeing to keep prized plants safe from weed killers. Then apply the pre-emergent control before adding a fresh layer of mulch.
