Strange's Garden Center

OK, everybody who has weeds, raise your hoe!

It seems like there's always 2 weeds that are a major pain in the summer -- wiregrass (aka bermuda grass), and nutsedge (aka nutgrass). Wiregrass always tries to take over my landscape beds, and I'll admit, it does win every once in a while. But I've managed to keep it under control, and even get rid of it using Hi-Yield's Grass Killer, also known as Poast. This product is known as an "over the top" type spray, so you can spray it over the top of almost any kind of plant, to kill wiregrass, crabgrass, foxtails and other pesky grasses that are growing up thru your plants. Let's face it, the only place wiregrass REALLY belongs is out on the golf course, on the greens-- not in your garden or lawn.

My other hassle is nutsedge. This stuff is like the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry-- every year it resurfaces, even worse than the previous year! If you pull nutsedge out of your lawn, you can leave behind little bulblets that will just resprout and spread even more than before. Try using GreenLight's Wipe Out. It's a granular product that you can dump into your spreader and put on your lawn. No mixing required, and it will help kill not only nutsedge, but a whole bunch of other pesky broadleaf weeds like dandelions, ground ivy and clover.
Poast is meant to used in garden beds, not on the lawn. Wipe Out is for lawns, not garden beds. Always read the label all the way thru before using any product!
