| How To Spot Weeds And Deal With Them When I was a child, I loved to pick
Dandelions. The pretty yellow flowers were small, colorful, and looked nice
tucked behind my ear! However, if one had popped up in the front yard, my hair
accessory would have been considered an atrocity! I often feel sorry for weeds.
They are plants too. In fact, if you flipped through a botany field guide, you
may be surprised at the plants you find classified as weeds! But simply put, a
weed is really defined as a plant out of place. Clover in one persons flowing
lawn may be considered fashionable, whereas on another, not. Golf greens are
often covered with bentgrass, but if it crept up in some yards, it would be
considered a weed. While perhaps pretty on their own, weeds stick out like a
sore thumb in yards because they may be of a different color, size or texture.
This is distracting from the beauty of the otherwise sprawling green turf. Aside
from aesthetic values, weeds can also drain nutrients from grass and other
plants, and this competition of resources can thin what should be lush. And
what�s worse is that weeds are fighters. They can withstand conditions that your
wanted greens cannot, so they are almost inevitable! Treating weeds begins with
correct identification. There are two classifications of weeds: Grassy and
Broadleaf. These are further broken down into groups like perennial, biennial,
and winter and summer annuals. These, as you may gave guessed, depict their
growing patterns. Grassy weeds are, as they sound, like grass. However, they are
unwanted grass, or grass that is growing in a different type of lawn. Some
examples are annual bluegrass, barnyard grass, crabgrass, creeping bentgrass and
foxtail. Broadleaf weeds may appear more to be what most people picture
weed-like growth to be post by haiyan902. Since they are broad, they are more
easily distinguished. Some examples are yarrow, knotweed, chickweed, clover,
ground ivy, thistle and my favorite, the dandelion. Once you understand what is
growing in your lawn and decide that it is unwanted, you can treat it and/or
control it. Weeds can actually be controlled by your lawn care maintenance. If
you maintain a dense and vigorously growing lawn, you are already combating the
problem. Weeds can be a sign of underlying problems in the environment beneath.
So by just killing them, you are simply putting on a band-aid, not solving the
problem Louis Vuitton. For example,
some weeds grow in situations of compacted soil, such as knotweed. You can also
control the growth by taking better care of the grass, rather than focus on the
weeds. You can raise or lower the mowing height, change the frequency of mowing
and changing the amount of time between irrigating. Also, you can increase or
decrease application of fertilizer and aerify the soil. This will maintain
better grass, thus keeping the growth dense and vigorous, which as discussed
above, does not attract weeds. In addition to culture practices, sometimes the
assistance of chemicals is needed to control weed growth. In that case, there
are several types of herbicides that can be used. Pre-emergence herbicides will
affect seeds that are germinating. Since they are best used two to three weeks
before the seeds start to grow, these work best to combat annual weeds Louis Vuitton handbags. Post-emergence
herbicides are used, as their prefix implies, after the weeds have sprouted.
Since they must be absorbed through the leaves, this types of herbicide works
best with a spray. These can be used at any time, but are most effective when
the weed is still young and growing. Selective post-emergence herbicides are
usually used to control annual, biennial and perennial broadleaf weeds, as they
will not damage grass. But, they can kill trees, shrubs and flowers. These have
to be used in proper conditions as well, with no rain in the forecast for two
days to follow, air 60-80 degrees and no winds. Finally, non-selective
post-emergence herbicides kill all types of weeds, and are best used to spot
treat grassy weeds that are not affected by the selective herbicides. So next
time you see a Dandelion plant growing, don�t make a wish and blow the seeds
toward in the direction of a lawn fanatic- they may not get the perfectly
manicured lawn they wished for!
