Stop W**ds In Their Tracks!
Apply it today to stop w**ds, tomorrow.
"As the name suggests, pre-emergent works to kill w**ds before they emerge. Victorian turf farmers commonly use pre-emergent products to assist in growing high-quality lawns. These products have been around for some time, but it is only more recently that they have started to be used in residential lawns." - From Lilydale Instant Lawn's website linked below.
We carry a Pre-Emergent right here at Northern Star Mills, so get out there, and kill those w**ds before they emerge during peak gardening time.
Here are the steps to take:
1. Preparation
Before applying a pre-emergent herbicide, preparing your lawn by removing any existing w**ds or debris is important. Remove leaves, sticks, and other debris, and remove any visible w**ds. This will ensure that the herbicide has direct contact with the soil and is not obstructed by any existing growth.
2. Application
Follow the specific instructions on the product label for accurate application rates and timing. Pre-emergent herbicides are typically applied in a granular form using a spreader or spraying the herbicide onto the soil surface. It's important to apply the herbicide evenly to avoid over-application in certain areas, which can lead to damage or poor results.
3. Watering
After applying a pre-emergent herbicide, it's important to water the lawn thoroughly. This will activate the herbicide and allow it to pe*****te the soil surface, creating a protective barrier against w**d seeds. Watering the lawn immediately after application and then again 24-48 hours later is recommended to ensure even coverage and maximum effectiveness.
4. Maintenance
To maintain the effectiveness of pre-emergent herbicides, it's important to avoid disturbing the soil surface after application. This means avoiding heavy foot traffic, tilling, or digging in the treated areas. Additionally, it's important to continue regular lawn maintenance practices, such as mowing and fertilising, to promote healthy growth and minimise the risk of w**d growth.

Pre-emergent herbicides work to keep established lawns healthy and maintained. Learn how to keep grassy w**ds at bay with standard fertiliser spot spraying.
Get a move on this year and get those gardens going with some of our starters. These frost resistant goodies will call for a delicious dinner come fall.
Keep an eye out on more starters, as we have started stocking up! Spring is right around the corner 👀 .
