But don’t get started spraying just yet. You need to know the ingredients in the herbicides that might harm your grass, how often to spray vinegar-based solution, and what to mix with vinegar for optimal effects, which we will cover today.
Selective HerbicidesSelective herbicides are designed to target broadleaf weeds and invasive grasses while sparing your desired grass. They are great for using in your lawn because they won’t kill your grass.
Non-Selective HerbicidesNon-selective herbicides kill all plants they come in contact with indiscriminately, including the grass on your lawn. Make sure the grass on your lawn has completely turned brown before spraying non-selective herbicides.
Apply Winter Weed and Feed to Your LawnNot only does weed and feed help to kill weeds on your lawn, but the products also contain fertilizer which helps to enrich the soil, making it suitable for the grass to thrive during spring.
