what is good to kill grass-weeds in flower beds?

Answer 1

Bind weed and cooch grass is very hard to get rid of. You must dig it out making sure that you get the last inch, especially the roots. Do not put it into your compost heap as it survives. If there is a wide patch you can use Roundup or some other harsh systemic weed killer - however, the old down on your knees and start picking it out routine is the only answer...............

Answer 2

there are products you can buy that will kill the weeds and grass and not harm the flowers.preen is a very good one ortho also puts out one called weed begone.but i also don,t like spending money if i can find something Else that will work'you can lay down black plastic just leave room for the plants there to get water,news paper works also but looks ugly.the best thing to do and will look good is to lay down weed blocker cloth and cover it with a nice mulch, wood chips ect,the up side to the weedblocker it last a long tome i have it my flower beds going on 4 years and only a weed or two finds a way through it.

Answer 3

PULL THEM UP THEN MULCH THE GROUND TO KEEP THEM AWAY FOR NOW. AFTER YOUR FLOWERS ARE GONE THIS FALL USE ROUND UP TO GET RID OF WHAT IS THERE. NEXT SPRING ROUND THEM UP AGAIN A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE PLANTING, YOU CAN GET MORE WEEDS THAT WAY BY LETTING NEW SEEDS SPROUT. BUT DO IT EARLY SO YOU WILL HAVE TIME FOR IT TO WORK. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON THE CONTAINER. YOU CAN PLANT ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION I BELIEVE. IT REALLY HELPS BUT THE MULCH WILL PREVENT WEEDS.

Preen is good and preen and green if even better it fertilizes while keeping the weeds out. Then mulch 3 inches deep.
