Is Pulling weeds a waste of time?

By pulling weeds when they're small, they're not only simpler to remove, but they also don't get a chance to bloom and go to seed, which significantly increases weed problems. Being conscientious in early weed removal also reduces the need to use chemical herbicides that are not healthy for the environment.

What time of day is best to spray weeds?

Systemic herbicides work best when applied late morning, midday and in the afternoon in cool or cold climates. Plant growth slows down at dusk and speeds up again as the sun rises the following day. Heavy early morning dew can cause herbicides to run off, so it's best apply them after dew has evaporated.

Will weeds grow back after Roundup?
