Weed question.

The yard kind =) So, I have weeds growing in my palm tree planters, around flowers and such. Is it safe to spray them or should I just pull them out. I’m new to this stuff. HELP! =(

my recommendation is to pull the weeds rather than spray. many weed kiilers would also kill your desirable plants. as well as contaminate ground water, etc.

Hi, it’s better to pull them out. It’s a lot harder but commercial weed killers can be harmful to your plants too. To prevent weeds from occurring again, try applying some mulch over the soil around your plants. If you really want to use weed solutions, avoid the spray. Instead use a dropper and drop the solution on the weeds so you won’t accidentally spray on other plants. But I say, be organic, pull weeds and prevent them next time, that’s the safest way to go.
