Yardeners in America really hate weeds. I would guess that weeds in the lawn cause as much stress among serious lawn yardeners as is caused by family problems or work problems. We really don't like weeds.

Therefore in this section we give you just about every tool and product available to the consumer to kill weeds. If you go through every button you will note there are a whole bunch of products designed to kill weeds.

Now, before you dive in with glee to find the exact perfect means to kill your weeds, let us give our bias on this whole weed issue.

We don't feel weeds need to be a problem at all - anywhere in the home landscape; at least after spending a year or two following the advice we give in Yardener's Helper. Here is on oversimplified list:

Weeds in the lawn are eliminated in two to three years by overseeding the lawn several times and getting the lawn thick enough to choke out any weeds.

Weeds in the garden beds, under the shrubs, around the trees, and along the fence line are all easily controlled by a 3 to 4 inch layer of organic mulch that is renewed once or twice a year.

That is our story and we are sticking to it.

Go have at it and find just the right tool to solve your particular weed problem.
