How Do You Remove Weeds From The Yard Without Killing The Grass?
Your lawn is being invaded by weeds. The problem is how to remove the weeds without killing the grass. By first improving the health of your lawn and then removing the weeds this can be accomplished. Aerate the soil to deter weed growth. Weeds flourish in dense, compacted soil. Aeration can be accomplished by using a lawn aerator. Walking your lawn while wearing spiked shoes will work for a small yard. Mow the grass often. Leave the grass about 2 1/2 inches tall to provide shade, which will inhibit weed growth. Keeping the yard mowed prevents weeds from developing seed heads. Rake up grass clippings if they contain any weed seed. Combine 1 cup liquid dish soap and 1 cup ammonia in a 20 gallon hose-end sprayer and spray your yard thoroughly every two to three weeks. This soap bath will improve the health of your lawn. Clean grass blades will allow fertilizers and herbicides to penetrate the grass without interference from dust and oils. Fertilize the yard to obtain a lush, healthy lawn.
