Controlling weeds by hand-pulling them
may be all that is necessary if you practice regular and proper maintenance
procedures. Hand-weeding is particularly important to prevent infestations
of the following weeds because they are difficult to manage once
they have invaded.
Hand-weeding tips
Regularly removing weeds will greatly reduce the number of annual
weeds in your lawn.
- Remove weeds while they are still young and before they set
seed.
- Remove the entire weed, including the root, rhizome, or other
underground plant parts such as tubers or bulbs.
- Use a dandelion fork or a wide-bladed screwdriver to remove weeds
with a thick taproot.
