How should I treat for weeds in a low input lawn? <br />First, determine the severity of the problem and why an area is weedy. Are the weeds <br />in one area? What kind of weeds are growing there? Many of our annoying weeds in <br />our home landscapes are warm weather plants, meaning that they grow most in the <br />warmer months of mid -summer. Sometimes altering the growing environment helps <br />by encouraging grass to grow. For example, pruning evergreen branches to increase <br />sunlight in shady areas. <br />Spot treat for weeds vs. broadcasting or spraying weed control over the entire <br />landscape. This will save money in herbicides, will keep any negative impact on the <br />environment to a minimum, and wit still manage your weed population. <br />FOR MORE INFO: <br />The University of Minnesota Extension Service offers extensive lawn care <br />resources, available in print or online at www.extension.umn.edu <br />"Low Input Lawn Care" (Extension Publication FO-07552-GO) available online <br />at www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG7552.html <br />LI LaC <br />9 <br />
