Often weeds can be controlled
by changing the grass, lawn or yard area to favor
the grass plants rather than the weeds. Some examples
are raising or lower the mower height, change
how often you mow the lawn, change how much you
water your Phoenix lawn, change the type or how
often you fertilize your lawn and don’t
forget about dethatching or aerating your soil
as well.
For a herbicide to be effective
they need three weeks before weed seeds germinate.
A good herbicide is most effective against annual
weeds. There are also post emergence herbicides
that are often used to kill weeds after the weed
plants are established. Some herbicides come in
liquid form but granular types are the most practical
way for homeowners to apply weed control.
For a liquid weed control formula
you may need a air sprayer with a compressor to
get a proper mix and application on your lawn.
