Inexperienced gardener?
I want to save money by maintaining my own lawn, but I don't know anything about gardening and lawn care. Basically the look I'm going for is well maintained, but simple. First things first, I NEED TO GET RID OF WEEDS! I'm not planting any flowers at the moment. There are several existing planters around the yard that were there before we moved in, but it looks like it's been a while since there were flowers in any of them. Should I dig up the weeds and them use a herbicide to keep them at bay? Also, one of the previous owners used pebbles and bricks in a decorative design for the walk ways and surrounding the large planter in the front yard. I like the concept and would like to restore their design to it's original charm, however weeds are growing up over and around the bricks and rocks in some places. How can I get rid of them and what should I do to help keep them from returning and growing so furiously.
If you use a weed killer in the planters you will have to wait 2 weeks or longer before you can plant any flowers. If you don't want to wait that long try turning the soil with a tiller or pitchfork and removing the weeds. You shouldn't have any problems using weed killer on the bricks and pavers just be cautious of the wind blowing the spray where you don't want it. If there is any chance that there are still flowers in the planters that you can't see because of all the weeds I would suggest the old method of just pulling the weeds.....just make sure it's a weed before you pull it. Once you get all the weeds out use landscape fabric or thick mulch to keep them at bay.
