As weeds mature, they release thousands of seeds into the soil, and perennial weeds begin sending energy to their roots to survive the winter. That makes late summer and early fall one of the most important times of year for weed control.
Seed is the real enemy.
One mature crabgrass or dandelion can drop thousands of seeds that lie dormant for years. Stop them now and you cancel next spring's flush.
Perennials are stocking up.
Dandelion, bindweed and thistle are banking energy in their roots.
Pull them, and any root fragments left behind can regrow.
Next spring gets cheaper.
Clean ground now means fewer labor hours when you're busiest.
