3 Tips For Effective Weed Control

If you were to track every hour you spent picking weeds out of your landscape, you would probably find that you're doing it way too often. Here are some tips on how to eliminate the high number of weeds that grow on your landscape:

• Add Mulch. This will prevent weeds from being able to see any light. It also keeps the ground moist and the soil cool. It also is a place where crickets and beetles like to lie, and they seek out and eat weeds. 
• Let sleeping weeds lie. Weed seeds are all over your lawn, but only a certain amount get enough light to grow. So, minimize soil disturbance by using a narrow blade instead of a shovel so the weed seeds remain under ground, unable to see the light. 
• Chop off their heads. This will limit the spread of seeds from the the buds.
