3 Secret Tactics for Organic Weed Control for Lawns Revealed

March 3, 2020 By Tim Boyd

Trying to figure out how to use organic weed control for lawns? You can go buy organic powders, pellets, and juices from the hardware store, but there are better ways to get a green lawn. You see, the best form or organic weed control is a thick, healthy lawn. So this presents a “what came first, the chicken or the egg?” scenario. How do you get a thick, healthy lawn organically? Here are three secret tactics for organic weed control for lawns.

1. Weed seeds need sunlight in order to germinate.

First of all, a thick lawn will block sunlight from reaching the soil. This in turn will choke out the weeds before they can start a growth cycle. One important step for achieving a thick lawn is overseeding in the spring and fall. Overseeding simply means applying new grass seed over your existing lawn, and it’s just as organic as your grass seeds.

2. Compacted soil makes it difficult for grass plants to grow.

In addition, hard dirt prevents water and nutrients from reaching the grass roots as they should. The best way to facilitate the transfer of water and nutrients to grass roots is core aeration. A core aerator simply pulls plugs of soil out of the dirt, creating little pockets for water and nutrients to penetrate the soil. This process is totally mechanical and fully organic.

3. Thatch is a layer of grass clippings, leaves, and other organic matter that builds up on the surface of the soil.

Over time, thatch can become so thick that it prevents water and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Dethatching can be as easy as giving the lawn a nice, firm raking. It’s also another important, totally organic step to helping grass grow thick and healthy.

Spring has sprung in the Atlanta area, and that means it’s time to ramp up your lawn care game. The three tips above should be completed, if necessary, before applying fertilizer and weed control for lawns. Finally, dethatching and aerating will help fertilizer reach the grass roots, and the grass seed will benefit from the fertilizer and plentiful water.
