TIP OF THE DAY... Dealing with Weeds

Good day fellow gardeners, are you struggling to get rid of weeds in your lawn and paving? With all the wonderful rain we've got recently, the weeds are literally taking over. Now, in the growing season, is the right time to spray because they are actively growing and absorb herbicide a lot more effectively. Avoid using one particular herbicide constantly as resistance can be built up by the plants over time.

For example, when spraying weeds in lawn areas, alternate between herbicides with the active ingredients Dicamba and MCPA as this will produce better results.

Remember more is not better but a waste. Stick to the prescribed/recommended dosage. Leave at least an hour drying time before watering or rain otherwise the chemical is washed off and you've wasted your time.

Stay safe and happy gardening.
