Description

This method should provide some excellent weed prevention when done properly on its own. Use peat moss, fine bark dust or potting soil at a depth of 2-4 inches over the top of your soil without mixing it into the soil that is there. This will create a clean top layer to plant your seeds in and create a seal from your weedy top layer that you might have had. This option is more expensive but can work with good results. The fine saw dust is the least expensive of the three. Peat moss is more expensive and then potting soil is the most expensive. -Option Two: You could consider the use of an herbicide that will kill the weeds for you. This method can be very effective and can be done with less time and money, but you must be very careful and follow the directions on the label very carefully. If you choose to use herbicide, spray the lawn with at least 3 days after regular mowing for best results. Wait the recommended time on the herbicide label and mow as short as possible. Remove the debris, you can save it as compost if you prefer. Then repeat process again with thatcher blade on mower, removing any excess debris. Strait apple vinegar will also control a lot of weeds. -Option Three: One of the safest and best ways to have effective weed control is to use sheets of clear plastic and cover the area you are working to kill and suffocate whatever is growing. This can be a little expensive and time consuming, but it will give you good control when done properly. The area needs to be covered completely for 6-8 weeks to kill some of those more established, harder to control grasses. After this time period has past remove the plastic and move to step 4. Unfortunately, this does not work as well in the Northwest due to our cooler temperatures.
