If it looks like a weed, smells like a weed, and grows like a weed, it’s probably a WEED! 

My favorite weed is called “Creeping Charlie.” It boasts such a pretty lavender flower, but oh does that vine spread! I once spent an hour on my hands and knees pulling them out—not a pretty picture for passers-by. Let’s face it, we all find weeds in our lawns and gardens at least some of the time. But the healthier your lawn is, the easier it will be to combat weeds. How do you keep your lawn healthy? First, you select the right lawn grasses for your climate zone and sun exposure, then you choose the right fertilizer and lime (depending on your soil test results), de-thatch and aerate if needed, and lastly, you mow and water.

Many years ago, lawns were fed with manure from the farm and weeds were tolerated or hand pulled. Manure was spread in the fall and allowed to decompose over the winter releasing nitrogen into the soil.  This replaced depleted nitrogen in the soil and thus encouraged a burst of fresh green growth on the lawn.  If the manure was applied when it was too fresh, it could burn the lawn; if applied too late in the spring when there was no rain or snowfall then it could not decompose effectively.  Today we have modern fertilizers such as Greenview Fairway Formula Fertilizers that replace the manure and supply nitrogen to the lawn in a more effective way.

Spring is a delightful time. Alas, along with the coveted perennials, we might find some not so pleasant things emerging too – weeds! Some of these weeds are perennial; others are annuals germinating from last years’ seed. What you decide to put on the lawn to eradicate these weeds depends on what they are and when you plan to apply the product.
