It can be challenging to keep your garden and landscape beds free of weeds and grass, but your plants, herbs, veggies and flowers are depending on you to do the job so they can grow big and healthy! Luckily, we have your back at TLC with a couple handy suggestions.
Preen® Weed Preventer
Preen® Weed Preventer stops weeds from germinating in flower and vegetable gardens, in ground covers and around trees and shrubs. However, Preen will not kill existing weeds. Instead, it prevents new weeds from sprouting — eliminating the need for difficult and time‑consuming hand‑weeding.
For flowers, roses, herbs, ground covers, ornamental grasses, shrubs, trees and listed vegetables at least 2 – 3 inches tall, sprinkle Preen® Garden Weed Preventer evenly over the entire soil surface, being sure to keep granules away from plant roots and foliage, then water in. Preen can stop weeds for up to four months. An additional application in mid-summer will protect against late summer- and fall-sprouting weed seeds.
Ortho® Grass-B-Gon
Bermudagrass often becomes a weed problem when present in flower beds. Ortho® Grass-B-Gon Garden Grass Killer kills weedy grasses, including bermudagrass, without injuring ornamental plants.
Grass-B-Gon is a ready-to-use, selective systemic grass killer that can be used to kill existing weedy grasses in and around ground covers, plant beds, landscapes, individual trees and shrubs.
Make two applications seven days apart for persistent grassy weeds such as Bermudagrass and Crabgrass. The label has a listing of plants that are okay to apply this product “over-the-top” of.
