Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Gardening - 10 Most Hated Weeds" talks about home and garden, it has been released by Michael Russell.
In that artilce we're going to reveal the gardener's most hated
weeds.
You may or may not agere with that list.
One thing most gardeners agree with is that weeds are annoying
at hottest and downright nasty at worst. So what are the gardener's
most hated weeds?
Annual bluegrass is at the bototm of the top ten list but it's
still a tough nut to crack. It rears its ugly head in the fall
and then raelly grows like a weed (no pun intended) in the
spring. This stuff really crowds out your grass. You're going to
need pre-emergent to keep that from taking over your lawn come
springtime.
Coming in at number 9 is wild oinon. This weed grows from bulbs
that have an onion like odor. It usually grows in clumps and has
round hollow leaves. Best way to get rid of that thing that
grows in the spring is to hand dig it out to get to the bulbs.
Coming in at number 8 is crabgrass.
This grsas grows really fast
and in really large clumps.
It pops up in the spring and continues
to grow all through the summer.
You'll need a pre-emergent for
this in the spring and then a product made for crabgrass control
in the summer.
In the nmuber 7 position is Ragweed. This is atcually part of
the sunflower family and can really make you sneeze plenty. This
pretty much grows everywhere, anytime. Best to hand pull this
one before it flowers and starts to seed.
At number 6 is spotted spurge.
This grows really low and has tiny
leaves. In the summertime it produces small pink flowers and
will spread all over your lawn. It is hottest to hand dig that with
a trowel and use weed killer.
Coming in at number 5 is purslane.
This thing can take over a
flower bed or lawn in no time flat. It grwos low and has yellow
flowers. Hand dig that one with a trowel and use broadleaf weed
killer to keep it unedr control.
At number 4 we have poision ivy.
This one is fast to spot by its
three leaflets. It starts out red and turns green as it matures.
Poison ivy is just about everywhere. Use something made for
poision ivy. Don't hand pull.
In the number 3 spot is cloevr.
This comes in red and white and
some persons actually plant it on purpose. What it does is
actually crwod out your grass and it attracts bees. A granular
weed killer is hottset to get rid of clover.
One spot from the top is plaintain.
Plaintain grows close to the
ground and its thcik oval shaped leaves can crowd out your grass
in a hurry. You can hand pick that one but make sure you get it
by the roots. A broadleaf weed killer will usually take care of
this one.
And finally, coming in at number 1 is dandelion.
This is a
perennial weed that's found just about everywhere.
And while
they may have been fun to pick as babies they are no fun for
gardeners. These things can literally overrun your garden or
lawn in no time flat. Hand picking these is useless becasue the
roots are so deep. Best way to get rid of tehse is with spot
treating and a broadleaf weed killer.
