Well, that's why I'm asking advice; because I don't know the best way to go about it. By "what the plan is" I meant it wasn't clear to me what you are actually trying to achieve. I thought that I'd kill my "lawn of weeds" now, turn it over, let it settle, kill any more that might appear in the meantime. this should take me up to the end of the summer when I'll lay turf. Lots of prep to ensure a good lawn. I hope. -- TeaBag That's a bad strategy. What's the point to killing weeds now and turning over the soil so that new weeds will grow all summer? I don't think anyone here ever told you to do that. If the soil is OK, except for the weeds, you don't have to till it at all if you're going to use seed. And regardless of whether you're going to use seed or sod, there is no point in doing anything until late Aug. I would just keep it mowed for the summer. That has to be better that looking at a bare, tilled up earth and dealing with all the weeds that are going to be growing...... |
