Unless you are the type of person who pays attention to details or has plenty of time, many areas of your garden may be overtaken by weeds this time of year. Weeds are major nuisances for gardeners and homeowners and are the most aggravating and frustrating challenge of keeping the garden, lawn and landscape looking great. One day everything looks perfect and nice and clean; and then, a few days later, weeds are taking over. Ugh! Â
Once the invasion of weeds has begun, so does the most hated gardening chore – weeding. Unfortunately, many sensitive situations typically call for removing the weeds by hand. And in the back of your mind, you can only grimace and admit that you never intended for this weed problem to get this bad. Abandoning the situation or ignoring it will only make things much worse.
