WINTER WEEDS

WINTER WEEDS With an unusual warm winter in the Low country the weeds in our turf and plant beds have been extremely evident. Pre-emergent herbicides have not worked as well as expected this year. Please follow the instruction on your product to make sure that the product is not over used. When weeds are actively growing a post-emergent herbicide can be applied.
Systemic herbicides like Weed Free Zone should work fine. These weeds should be killed now before the weeds flower and set seed. February and March are the time to apply pre-emergent products that will kill weed seeds as they germinate.

Your local hardware or landscape supply store can assist you with choosing the right products to get a head start on getting and keeping your lawn weed free.
