Choosing the Right Weed Control

Weed Control: Getting the Most out of Your Purchase

For the most effective weed control, use weed killers and weed barriers according to label instructions. Here are some other tips.

How To Use Weed Killer

When using weed killers, keep in mind most weed killers are non-selective. That means they will kill weeds, desirable plants and grass. If using a weed killer, take care in where you spray it. These weed killers are great for eliminating weeds in driveways, walkways and along fences. Also, make sure you follow the label instructions on mixing weed killer and when it's safe to enter an area after its use.

When To Apply Weed Killer

Weed killer should be applied on actively growing plants. The most effective time of year is usually in the spring. The best time of day to apply weed killer is usually between mid morning and mid afternoon, and when the wind is calm. Do not apply weed killer when children and pets are around. Follow the weed killer's label instructions on re-entry guidelines.

What Is Weed Control Fabric

Weed control fabric blocks out light that most weeds need to survive and grow. It's easy to install, removable and reusable. Weed control fabric lets moisture and air into the soil. Our Turbo-Tomato! Tomato Weed Barrier and Mulch is made of food-grade plastic and warms the soil as well as controlling weeds. Because water doesn't pass through the plastic, a watering system is needed.

How To Install Weed Barrier

Weed barriers are most effective when laid over bare ground rather than existing weeds. We recommend installing the weed barriers in the spring or at planting time and using garden fabric pins to hold the weed control fabric in place. When planning your garden plantings, space your rows so that they are slightly wider than the weed control fabric. This makes installation easy.
