We have been experiencing a lot of rain over the past several weeks and heavy rain at that. These rains have encouraged growth of turf, plants, but also weeds in our landscape.
Hand pulling weeds in the landscape beds is a tall order and could potentially spawn more weeds. It’s good to have multiple options on addressing weeds in the landscape. Proper maintenance, mulching, and fertilizing with pre-emergent applications build the turf and landscape while minimizing weed competition. There are also post-emergent weed applications to address any visible weeds in your landscape now.
It’s an ongoing process in caring for your landscape. Stay ahead of the game by reaching out to a local garden center or Clemson Extension service to keep you up to date on best practices.
