Weeds this time of year
The week end before last was exceptionally dry and sunny after a wet
period, here in the Eastern part ofthe Midlands of Ireland. I therefore decided to treat my drive (compacted hardcore) and back path (concrete slabs) with Pathclear to get rid of all weeds. 10 days on, and I am practically taking the weeds' pulse for signs of ill-health... How long does the stuff take to show results this time of year? Is this a bad time of year to use it? I am not enamoured with chemical treatment where it can be helped, and I have maintained the drive and back path by hand throughout the summer, but being busy and bad weather means I have let it get on top of me over the last couple of months. Are there any effective alternative treatments? Still on weeds, I took the hoe to the veg patch for what I figured would be the last weeding session of the year. I did no different from what I would do during the summer, but instead of withering, the weeds I topped with the hoe just seem to have recovered... and re-taken root. Is it because the sun is not about to bake them? Is it because it is wetter now? Should I just forget about weeds till Spring? (and I admit that if the answer to this is yes, I will be most willing to oblige!!) TIA! Cat(h) Herds twirl slow... |
