Unwanted weeds can cause harm in your garden if left unattended. They can crowd out the flowers, starving them of valuable nutrients. Treating your garden with a product such as Concern® Weed Prevention Plus® will prevent weeds from taking over your garden.

 

Weeds can also cause damage to sidewalks and cause cracks in driveways and other outdoor surfaces. This causes undue hardship and can really hit you in the wallet with costly repairs. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Fast Acting Weed and Grass Killer will eliminate the weeds but not travel through the soil, possibly damaging other plants nearby.

 

 

 

 

All About Weeds

 

Weeds are typically just plants that are growing in the wrong place. Most weeds are just the natural flowers and plants that grow in your area and some may have been introduced in the past for medicinal, culinary or decorative purposes. So if you are wondering how to classify weeds basically, if you didn’t plant it, and you don’t want it in your lawn or garden, it’s a weed.

 

Selective weed control

Unwanted weeds can cause allergic reactions for some people; some of them have jagged leaves and many of them are unruly and well, they grow like weeds, taking over your garden and crowding out the plants you have spent time, energy and money on cultivating. By crowding out your plants, weeds starve your plants of valuable nutrients and prevent them from achieving the level of growth that you have longed for.

 

To control weeds, maintenance is key. In your garden, you can prevent weeds from coming up initially by using a product such as Concern® Weed Prevention Plus®. It uses the power of corn gluten meal to prevent weeds from starting. This product should be mixed with your soil at the beginning of your gardening season.

 

To control weeds that have already taken hold, you can use a product such as Safer® Brand Fast Acting Weed and Grass Killer which will eliminate your weeds, but since it is organic, it will not travel through the soil to nearby plants and will not harm the microorganisms and beneficial insects that call your soil home.
