In our garden no matter how much mulch or pine straw we put down, weeds still pop up. I hate pulling weeds and since both my cat and my 6 year old spend lots of time in out garden area, I like to limit the amount of chemicals I use.It took me a while but I finally talked my husband into spending even more money on garden supplies and purchasing landscape fabric. Landscape fabric is a fabric typ...

I love a cool green weed free lawn. It's a refreshing sight on a warm spring night. Unfortunately we don't get these turf quality lawns easily, and weeding is a major pain. Here in Sacramento, weeds like crabgrass, spurge and bent grass overtake neighborhood lawns very quickly.I was getting totally frustrated with trying to both feed my lawn to help it maintain its deep green color and ...

I bought STIHL Weed Whacker KM 55 RC two years ago. It is a neat, powerful tool, a bit on the pricy side, but STIHL is considered the best brand out there, and I did not want a cheap version that would not last me one season. I also purchased a rototiller attachment, so I have been using this weed wacker both to prepare soil and trim weeds.The first season everything was fine, no complaints. Th...

Weeds season 3 has been released on DVD, and I was happy to recieve it as a gift this week. As I have season 1 & 2 , my boyfriend knew I would have to have season 3 also.As I refuse to devote any amount of time to watching a tv show anymore, tv on DVD is ideal for me. Season 3 of Weeds is absolutely fantastic. It is as good as the last two seasons without a doubt! Now I am left waiting on s...

RoundUp Weed & Grass Killer is a excellent product. It is very effective for quickly killing weeds. RoundUp is a ready to use product. No mixing or adding to your own spraying container. RoundUp claims to be rainproof in 10 minutes and show visible results in 6 hours. I actually found visible results in 6 hours and in 12 hours the weed was completely dead. Because RoundUp kills the root of ...

I bought RoundUp Weed and Grass Killer to use at home.  I used it to spray around the entire perimeter of the yard and in the rock garden.  I spray it close to my fence and around areas that my lawnmower cannot easily gain access to.  I really like when you spray it, you can see where it lands, because of the foam.  This prevents me from over spraying or wasting the pro...

It's that time of year again.  The time when weeds and grasses invade my flower beds.  I am tired of pulling them out by hand.  I just don't have the time.  I was shopping at Meijer's the other day and I thought about applying some chemicals to the area to kill off the invaders.  I found this bottle of Preen.  It caught my eye because the bottle says it...

Because of all the rain that we get here in Oregon, I seem to grow weeds like crazy. Everytime I turn around there is a new weed in my front or backyard. It absolutly drives me nuts!For a while I have looked into different types of weed killers. After what I thought was careful consideration, I decided to buy Eliminator Weed & Killer. To me, this was a big waste of my money.The weed killer ...

As a child, I thought dandelions were pretty flowers. I also enjoyed "making a wish' by blowing the puffs. I never understood my mom's disgust at the little ‘fairies" that flew about and landed in the grass. Now I know.We have a big back yard with a lot of lawn, and if we don't do something to control the weeds, they will take over. For a while, my husband tried usin...

I use this brand of weed killer because it is a little less costly than some of the other more popular brands.  I have used the other brands and have had about the same results as the Spectracide brand.  I use this in a lot of different areas of my yard, such as the gravel driveway, around bushes and trees, killing the weeds before I plant my garden and along my fence.  This is i...

When getting ready to do some landscaping around our house we decided to get some landscape fabric for weed control. We didn't want to use any harmful sprays because of the kids and the dog. We came across a great deal on the DeWitt Wed Barrier Landscape Fabric. Regular price was $30.00, but we bought it at the end of the season for $20.00 and used it the following spring. This roll is 3&qu...

I bought the Round Up, Ready to Use Plus, Weed and Grass killer this weekend.  I bought it because we have tons of weeds and grass growing in between our patio stones (pavers).  It states you can see results in 6 hours and that is true.  I used it around 9am Saturday and by 5pm Saturday I could see a huge change in the weeds and grass growing in between the stones.  They wer...

Ok, before I say something about this product I want you to know why I bought it. I am a single gal that lives by myself. I own a gas powered weed eater that I can not start for the life of me. My told me to buy this stuff and spray it around my house and privacy fence, and once they dies I could just get them with the lawn mower. Off to the store I went. I believe that I got it home dept, but ...

Roundup is very effective as a weed and grass killer.  It comes with a convenient applicator that makes it possible to not have to come into contact with the poison itself, which is an advantage.  I have used Roundup before, and it works very quickly and effectively to remove weeds from unwanted places.   I am an environmental scientist and study the effects of pesticides on...

I finally got tired of mowing my paved driveway every weekend. So when Lowe's sent me a coupon for $10 off a $50 purchase, I added "weed killer" to my wishlist. Round-Up is probably the most well-known of the weed killers because I see their advertisements on television all the time. But Spectracide Weed & Grass Killer gave me 33% more product in the bottle for the same p...

The Weed Eater Power Blower 2540 blows the heck out of grass and leaves!  If you would rather vacuum, it comes with an attachment and backpack type bag to get the job done fast.Using this blower is quite easy. All you do is plug it in, turn it on high or low, and go. The job is easier if you have a long extension cord or strategically placed outlets. We use a 100-foot and 25-foot toge...

You cannot beat this lawn mower for its price. We had to buy a new lawn mower for my mothers yard this year, my son mows her yard for his spending money. We knew there was not a lot of money to be spent on a push mower and we did not want to transport our riding mower there once a week so off to our favorite shopping center, Wal-Mart!We found one that was on sale for $119.00 that was normally $...

Our weed eater broke all of a sudden when my husband was using it. We were not too surprised as it was years old and we were probably due for a new one. So we headed off to Walmart to look for a quick and cheap replacement. We did not want to spend a lot on a new weed eater. Imagine our joy when we saw a weed eater on clearance. The Weed Eater Featherlite Xtreme Gas Trimmer was regularly $79 an...

My boyfriend celebrated his birthday a few weeks ago, and he had been talking about wanting his own lawn mower for months. I heard how silly it is to pay someone to mow our yard, when he would love to do it, how much he loved his friends new mower, and so many hints I knew thats what he wanted as his birthday gift.Our yard is quite small, so I couldn't see spending a fortune on a big fancy ...

We were looking for something that was inexpensive that we could use to spray weeds and moss that have popped up between some of the pavers and walkways on our property.This weed killer is a spot treatment that comes premixed in trigger spray bottle. On the label it says it kills over 175 types of weeds and eliminates the ...
