    Watching this video on killing weeds in mulch beds was an absolute delight!

I found myself fully immersed in the process, and the results were incredibly satisfying to witness. This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to maintain a pristine mulch bed without breaking the bank. Kudos to Budget Lawn for delivering such valuable and enjoyable content!

    I just mulched an existing bed in my parents' Crowne Zoysia yard. I scalped the grass in the bed first, then put two layers of cardboard down and about 3-4 inches of mulch, and dug a 6 inch straight edge around the perimeter to hopefully keep those Zoysia rhizomes from invading. I am worried the grass will come up through the plants that were already in the bed since I had to leave a gap in the mulch around the base of each one, but I am hoping I can keep it under control so my parents can enjoy it for years to come! We also have really prolific nutsedge in our area so I'm praying the cardboard and mulch will be able to smother enough of it so I can manage it. Any pointers are welcome!
    Also, great video!

    One product that really helps is Preen. I spread it 3-4 times per year, and it keeps the weeds and grasses way down in the mulched areas so I need to spray herbicides even less. It is a pre-emergent, so if you've already got weeds it doesn't help. But once you clear them out, Preen helps to prevent new weeds from popping up.

I know people have lives and get busy but still, you responded to all of your comments, that's so nice.
    Even though I saw this asked a few times, I still wanted to clarify and make sure. Do you just keep spraying the weeds that grow in mulch until they die or better to pull the weeds and then spray the area to prevent it from coming back? Also should you pull it once it dies and still spray after you pull the dead weed out or just pull it out, no spray? sorry that's a lot

    • @BudgetLawns
      @BudgetLawns  3 месяца назад

      Appreciate that. Try to do my best to help folks.
      Once I spray it once, it's usually done for. It'll die and I just leave it there. I only spray the ones that are difficult to pull, like bermuda. If it's easy to pull it, I'd rather do that than spray. But bermudagrass invading mulch is hard to pull. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching!

      Thank you. Maintaining the weed and grass free mulch for some time is a start. To make sure youre planting the plants without anything else trying to invade.

    • @BudgetLawns
      @BudgetLawns  Год назад +1

      Thank you. Nutsedege really thrives in moist areas. First thing is to improve drainage if possible. Years ago, I had good results using Spectracide Weed Stop For Lawn Plus Cragrass Killer on some nutsedge at my old house. Truthfully though, I go waaay against the grain and pick it like everyone says not to do. If you pick it regularly before the plants get too mature, they'll eventually give up the fight due to lack of nutrients from regular picking. You have to be diligent about it though. And thank you for your concern. I realize it's a good practice, but let's be real, if someone really wanted to know more about me, the internet makes it way too easy to do so. I used to cover my plate, but I don't think it makes a difference anymore with all the resources available out there. Plates are public records anyway so they're not hard to get info on. Thanks again. Appreciate you.

      You will want to use more caution around the plants you don't want to harm. I wouldn't use a weed fabric. If you control the weeds when you see them and keep a good layer of mulch, it'll do the trick for you. I've heard nothing but bad things about weed fabric deteriorating under the mulch.
