Weed & Grass Killing Tips


My yard seems to track the most gracious and healthy weeds. The weeds seem  to grow faster and better than anything I plant. The old back isn't what it  used to be. Therefore I resorted to liquid weed killer. Being susceptible  to advertising I started with roundup. It worked but. I wasn't overly impressed.

 I bought the economy size version of roundup in their spray pump which actually works quite well. That's the pump it works quite well the round up not so much.

 I purchased a product called Spectracide weed and grass killer. It seems grossly more effective than the roundup. I don't know why I was shocked but it was also substantially cheaper than roundup. Once again its proven that  the higher price product isn't always the best product for job. In this case Spectracide actually does seem to kill the weeds and they are brown within 24 hours. So if you looking to save some money in killing weeds you may want to look for the product called spectracide I found it at Ace hardware.
