what is the best way to get rid of weeds and keep them gone?

Answer 1

The best way is to use a broadleaf killer. If you have a lot of them, use a 1.5 gallon sprayer.

After you've sprayed, keep checking your yard for weeds that have survived. Load up a small, spray bottle for these. Keep up the process, and eventually you will get them all. Then all you have to do is to load up your spray bottle every so often, and walk your yard, spraying weeds as you go.

For crabgrass, use a pre-emergent killer at the beginning of each growing season.

Hope this helps :>)))

Answer 2

Do not use poison. Most of the poison ruining our water and killing the birds comes from home gardeners, please do not use any.
Mulch is the answer, pull the weeds and apply a 6-10 inch layer of organic material; ground up leaves, crass clippings, or store bought mulch. You can put the a layer of newspaper or the black gardening cloth you can buy at stores first, then you don't need as thick a layer of mulch. Mulch not only keeps the weeds down, it enriches the soil and provides nutrients to the plant. Just keep adding mulch, in the fall and again in the spring and the few weeds that grow through it are very easy to pull. Much better solution than poison.

Answer 3

-----Dig the weeds up, getting all the root. Or, sterilize the soil by keeping black plastic over it during the summer. Do not use chemicals. Keep cutting the weed down to lawn grass level; grass can take it, weeds can not. ---Jim
