What to Do About Dandelions & Other Spring Weeds?

Springtime is here in Pittsburgh; it’s time to clean out your flower beds and manicure your lawn! One primary concern many homeowners have is how to keep weeds out of their gardens or off their lawns.

Methods for Managing Weeds

When it comes to dealing with dandelions and other spring weeds, there are a few methods you can use. One common approach is to dig up the weeds by hand or use a garden fork or trowel to remove them as soon as they appear. This method is particularly effective if done regularly before seeds have time to disperse.

Mulching is another reliable way to keep weeds away. Not only does it act as a physical barrier against weed growth, but it also helps to retain moisture in your soil, which can be beneficial for your lawn’s health.

Alternatively, you can use a post-emergent herbicide to kill dandelions and other weeds. It is important to read the label carefully and follow all safety instructions when applying any type of chemical because it can be dangerous for pets and may affect the surrounding healthy grasses and plants.

Finally, make sure that you mow your lawn regularly and keep the grass at least two inches high. This will help prevent light from reaching the soil and will deprive weeds of the nutrients they need to survive.
