Harry's Gardening tips

   We have heard from many customers that they have continually had a problem with creeping charlie, thistle, dandelions, and wild violets. We have several different types of weed killers that you can use to control the weeds in your yard. The first and most effective one is called Turflon Ester. It contains a very strong herbicide called triclopr that is more effective on these hard to kill weeds than anything else out right now. We also have a product called Weed Free Zone that is effective on most types of weeds in your yard. An advantage to using the Weed Free Zone is that you can re-seed your lawn in two weeks after the application. We also have a new product out this year call Weed Out with Q. Weed Out with Q not only kills weeds in your yard but it also kills crabgrass. Remember, that these weed killers are post-emergents, so they only kill weeds that are actively growing. This means that you may have to make more than one application this season.

   If you have any questions about this product please feel free to stop in or call and one of our helpful associates will be happy to assist you.
