my sister put a bleach solution on all the weeds in the driveway which is working, all the weeds are now dead but i just went on a yanking spree along the sidewalk and everywhere she missed... I'm thinking this is gonna be an all summer affair...
I have an issue on a small area of my back yard. Not enough sun gets to it and although the grass I have does grow well in the shade it kept getting overrun by weeds. Obviously I cannot go all "Chemical Ali" on this area as I want the grass to grow.
I spoke to my gardener and asked if I could "weed and feed" it. He shook his head. He said he would put in plugs of grass from the good areas to promote the growth I wanted but that I would have to hand pull the weeds.
Over the past 4 or 5 months I have gone out for an hour on Saturdays or Sundays and done so...pulling all the weeds growing around (and sometimes in) the plugs.
This morning he stopped me after he and the crew arrived and had a big smile on his face. He congratulated me on what I had done and said within a month or so from now it should all fill in nicely.
Sometimes yanking is the only option. (in more ways than one
)
