With all the rain came the weeds!
What is a weed? "A weed is a plant not belonging in its present location."
Does this mean that if you are growing Dandelions and a Rose pops upon the middle of them, the Rose a weed? Roses are exempt from this rule. But, if a Carnation or a Black-eyed- Susan, or some other perennial rears up and says “look at me”, it’s a weed; but pulling it is up to you.
Back to the weeds. You have two options: pulling or spraying. Pulling is back breaking work, and takes a while, but you do feel like you’ve accomplished something, the weeds are gone. But are they…………?
Spraying Weed-b-gon or Roundup will kill them root and all; but in order to know if they all parished you will need a week.
I still think the spraying route is still the best, for it kills the plant root and all; if you pull the weed and leave some of the root in the ground it will come back.
Just remember Roundup kills everything in the plant world. Weed-b-gon will not kill grass or grasses, just broad leaf weeds.
So, if you want to win the war on weeds keep a spray bottle of Roundup handy and spray the weds you see, don’t pull them.
