(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, April 28, 2014 ) Novi, Michigan -- With spring just around the corner, flowers and grass have begun to come back to life, adding vibrant colors to gardens all around. However, as many gardeners know, with flowers and spring come the threat of weeds, but this spring, there has been a surprising outbreak of one specific kind: Burr Weed. This weed has leaves that resemble parsley, with flowers that will start to bloom yellow if allowed to grow past infancy. This garden pest has tiny seeds that take on a needle-like quality. If that's not bad enough, the entire plant is completely covered with sharp, pointy burrs, making it essentially impossible to walk across your lawn. Even house pets will avoid the area to avoid stabbing their sensitive feet.
Many various measures can be taken to vanquish these weeds, including an herbicide using the active ingredient Glyphosate, as well as additional protection with landscape fabric. Once the herbicide is applied to kill the Burr Weed, the landscape fabric will help suppress any future growth, as well as keep your garden moisturized without sacrificing the aesthetics of your garden! Todd, president of Buy Wholesale Cheap, vouches that Glyphosate will kill anything green and will take care of the Burr Weeds in a jiffy. Once the first step has been taken, Todd states, "Using landscape fabric and sod staples to prevent more weeds from attacking your garden is the only way to go. This can even help prevent erosion and other potential future problems."
The landscape fabric is a sheet of woven fabric which you place directly on top of the soil. This acts as a barrier and keeps weeds from sprouting up and becoming a nuisance in your garden. An added benefit to using the landscape fabric as opposed to the alternative of black plastic sheets is that water can easily flow through it, negating the need to put irrigation lines in.
Once the landscape fabric is in place, Sod Staples will be needed to secure the fabric and seal the barrier between your beautiful garden and the ugly weeds. Because landscape fabric can last up to ten years, you'll want to make sure that it stays together and doesn't gap through long winters or the heavy rainfalls of spring so don't skimp on the landscape staples. If mulch is the only thing weighing down the fabric, there's a very high chance that the fabric will pull apart and create gaps, essentially making the barrier useless against the ever invasive Burr Weed, among others. Sod Staples are simply the best staplers to use in your garden to ensure weed free protection.
