oddbod 393 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Wait for new weeds to grow back in their place? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javioli 57 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Not really the ideal option. Have read that scarifying might be next but has anyone done that & can offer advice? Like do I need to go to Barnie & Queenie and <shudder> buy one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuy1546081014 + 557 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You can do a reasonable job of scarifying with a garden rake and a bit of arm power. Leave a while to check for regrowth before reseeding. Tried this on my rear lawn, but the soil still contained the original heathland from when the house was build and now it looks more like a SSSI.

What's the next step?? You've killed the week! Well done, no longer the need to wait for the week end. Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrative Account 7 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Weed killer has got to be the biggest waste of money ever. There is only one economical way to get rid of weeds - dig them out. Then wait for the next lot to grow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
