A gardener explains weed types annuals perennials and biennials with strategies to limit growth. Hand pulling before seeds, mulching, landscape fabric and geotextiles deter weeds while preventing soil disruption. Use hoes for task specific weeding and add gravel paths or groundcovers to reduce weed-prone areas.
Rudy Benavidez outlines how native grasses, notably buffalo grass and blue Grama, use less water and labor than bluegrass. These grasses reach 4 to 12 inches, require about a third pound of nitrogen per 1000 sq ft, and need infrequent mowing. Establishment needs moisture in year one and seed costs are higher. they resist insects and disease but tolerate limited traffic and shade poorly.
The article explains spring is prime time to fertilize lawns about a month after rapid growth begins. Use a 3 1 2 nitrogen phosphorus potassium mix, spread evenly to avoid burn, criss cross for even coverage, and follow bag directions. Also inspect and service the mower, tightening bolts and safety gear, per the manual.
