Default spraying around junipers

Hi, I have a hillside full of little juniper pacificas, which were
planted with one of those antiweed tarps, and then mulched.
We had a big hailstorm and the tarp got several minor knicks
in it somehow, even covered by the mulch, and
other stuff is popping up. I've weeded but it is getting out of hand
timewise, and I was wondering what I could spray that would
not kill the junipers. Oh and anyone that says 'just get out there
and pull them up' probably does not work 60hrs a week.


With your busy schedule you want something more low maintenance.


Junipers are about as low maintenence as it gets... pacificas is
extremely low maintenence, grows fast and will in short order cover
the ground completely. I'd pull up the weeds and patch and mulch the
holes... don't really need to but will look unsightly until the
junipers spread... those junipers will spread weeds or no.

You might consider moving into an urban apartment, or condominium.


What an ignorant snotty useless uncalled for remark, typical billy
goat style intellect... I'm surprised you didn't tell him to move into
a dank n' dingy one room ghetto slum basement appartment like yours.

On the other hand, the junipers are perennials, and the weeds are
annuals.


Not true... most "weeds" are perennials... to some they're weeds to
other's they're wildflowers.
