PRE-EMERGENT WEED KILLER - A great idea is good gardening. Although not organic, this is using a herbicide to kill the weed seeds to prevent them from germinating.
PRE-EMERGENT WEED KILLER: Using a herbicide to kill weed seeds to prevent them from germinating.
Late this month or early next, if desired, apply a pre-emergent weed killer to beds and borders. It will greatly reduce weeds later on. However, it works by preventing seeds from germinating, so don't apply anywhere you're planting seeds.
If you're interested in chemical weed control, consider pre-emergent weed killers that are designed for use after the soil is prepared but before anything begins to grow.
