Buckhorn Plantain control - 400sqm

Posted by Eugene Baston on July 13, 2014 at 8:36pm

Hi All

What would you recommend for the most effective means of eradicating this weed within a lawn 1800sqm in total?

The ambition is before mid September (garden event planned) but the timing for herbicide use isn't great imo.

To hand dig the lot appears an excessive use of labour.

Your thoughts gratefully appreciated.

Thanks, Eugene

    Can they / will they water it?

    If so do a weed and feed treatment now and if necessary re-seed the patches early August. Using germination sheets for protection and/or pre-chit the seed.

    Its a tight timescale but if the customer does their bit it should work.
