So what&#8217;s the deal? Simply put, most gardeners are guilty of only tackling the foliage of a weed and not its root system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fix? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Get-Rid-of-Weeds-Without-Killing-Grass\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting rid of weeds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pulling weeds is a game of consistency. For most broadleaf weeds, you need to dig down and remove the whole taproot with a long-handled weeding tool. Snapping off at the surface won&#8217;t do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve got a large area covered in weeds that won&#8217;t seem to budge, there are two highly-effective options:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spray with a targeted weedkiller on a dry day (avoid windy weather)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cover the soil with bark mulch or a weed-suppressing membrane<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mulching your borders and keeping your lawn well cut (so the grass weeds don&#8217;t get a chance to seed) are two of the best ways to prevent weeds from coming back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Lawn_Problems_and_how_to_fix_them\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Lawn Problems (and how to fix them)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An unkempt lawn is one of the quickest ways to spot that a garden is struggling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawns become patchy, yellow or generally uneven for a reason. Whether it&#8217;s due to pets, children, drainage, excess moss or a lack of feeding \u2014 your lawn will tell you if something&#8217;s wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most lawn issues fall into 5 categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bare patches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellow \/ pale grass<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumpy surface<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moss growth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bare_patches\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bare patches<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is usually caused by heavy foot traffic or dogs marking their territory. To fix it, rake out any dead grass and loosen the top couple of inches of soil. Then reseed and keep it watered until the new grass sprouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yellow_or_pale_grass\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellow or pale grass<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likely cause: Lack of nutrients. Feed your lawn! A good lawn feed applied in spring and autumn will keep your grass rich in colour year-round.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bumpy_lawn\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumpy lawn<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caused by soil settling over time or winter frost heave. Topdress your lawn with a sand and soil mix to level it out gradually.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moss_invasion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moss invasion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually a sign of too much shade, poor drainage or compacted soil. Moss can be easily scarified (raked) out of your lawn. Follow this by poking lots of small holes in your lawn with a garden fork to improve drainage and air flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting your lawn too short is another huge problem. When grass is stressed like this, weeds and lawn diseases can take hold. A professional lawn mowing service will cut your lawn to the correct height for the time of year. Which solves your lawn height problem before it even starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pests_That_Are_Eating_Your_Garden\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pests That Are Eating Your Garden<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might not realise just how many pests invade gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year slugs were voted number one garden pest in the UK. Across the country unpredictable weather landed the nation with a mild winter, before leading straight into a cool, wet spring. This created the perfect environment for slugs to multiply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many growers told Garden Organic that they literally watched direct-sown crops disappear as soon as they poked through the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But airborne pests can cause havoc above ground level too. Here are some of the most common garden pests:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aphids<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vine weevils<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillars<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slugs &amp; Snails<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the most part, slugs can be controlled with copper tape around raised beds, beer traps or nematodes. Aphids are incredibly easy to blast off plants with a hosepipe. Diluted soap water also works well as a spray. But the best long-term solution is to attract natural predators. Birds, hedgehogs and ladybirds are the most effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pests of all kinds are much easier to prevent than solve. Inspect plants regularly and nip infestations in the bud.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Issues_With_Poor_Soil_Drainage\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issues With Poor Soil &amp; Drainage<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can&#8217;t have a healthy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/transform-your-outdoor-space-with-triton-landscapings-irrigation-services-in-victoria-bc\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">garden<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without healthy soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your plants continually wilt even with regular watering; or if you&#8217;ve got patches of your lawn that puddle after rain has stopped \u2014 there&#8217;s a soil issue. More than likely compacted soil or soil that drains too slowly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step to improving your soil is working out what type you&#8217;re dealing with. Clay soil drains slowly and has a thick, dense texture when dug. Sandy soil drains too quickly and struggles to hold onto moisture. Both can be easily improved by adding organic matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporate large amounts of compost or well-rotted manure to improve the structure. Or try aerating compacted patches with a garden fork. If there&#8217;s a persistently waterlogged corner in the garden, build a drainage channel or raised bed system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A soil pH test is also worth considering. The ideal pH level for most plants and vegetables is between 6.0\u20137.0. Add lime to raise the pH of acidic soil, or add sulphur to lower alkaline soil pH. Kits are inexpensive and take just 5 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preventing_Problems_From_Returning\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing Problems From Returning<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is, 9 times out of 10 garden problems are caused by a lack of attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting away the lawn mower for weeks on end won&#8217;t stop weeds coming back.
