Oxalis beware!


Within 3-14 days of rain, the dreaded dormant oxalis weed sprouts. ugh!

Nipping it in the bud early with Weed Prevention Plus (before it sprouts) or Bonide Weedbeater (after sprouting) will help prevent an overwhelming infestation.

The important thing to know if you use weed killer is this: spray it on the leaves and wait until they turn brown before pulling them. Many gardeners make the mistake of chopping the weeds first.

In general, if oxalis starts growing in your garden, pull it before it begins to flower to help prevent it from spreading!
