Several stupid newbie questions
"montana" wrote in message ... We have a small yard that is green. Some of it is grass, some crabrass, some weeds & some clover. I like the grass and the clover, but I don't like the other stuff. Will a pre-emergent kill the clover & all the other stuff? Do pre-emergents have runoff problems or wildlife consequences? Is that all I should do in spring? Should we overseed now? I really wouldn't mind if the lawn was all clover; it's the really short kind with little white flowers, it attracts bumblebees, doesn't need watering, fixes nitrogen and doesn't need mowing. What are the odds of it taking over? I am sure not an expert on this. The only pre-emergent that I am aware of is for crab grass only. Won't harm any other plants. Now is the best time to over seed. Are you planting grass or clover? Since you like the clover I would spot treat the weeds with a liquid weed killer in a one gallon sprayer mixed to label directions at anytime they are growing. You really don't want a pure stand of clover because of the winter die back factor. Everything has some potential to harm the environment . Read and follow label directions and you will be as "friendly" as possible. -- Colbyt Remove " stopspam." from the email address to reply via email |
