Using Pre-emergence Herbicides for Weed Control in the Home Landscape
Weeds are constant (and unwanted) companions in our gardens and landscapes. Some years, when we get a bit of extra moisture and the temperatures are just right, we get a bumper crop in our gardens as well as in vacant lots and disturbed soil areas along roadsides and other bare areas. Where do these weeds magically come from? Their seeds have been stored in the soil for years, waiting for the right conditions to germinate and grow. If your weed problem is major, you may consider the use of a product called a preemergence herbicide to control these unwanted germinating seeds.
