Weed killers are a great way to remove pests from your garden, but when is the right time to use them, and how can you use them effectively? In this post, we’ll show you how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Weed Killer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you learn when to use weed killer, it’s important to know that you should only use them to control weeds, which means that you need to have actively growing weeds<\/strong> in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season and Weather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For most gardeners, the best time will be in autumn\u2014around September or October<\/strong>. Also, avoid buying a weed killer<\/a> in the summer because many weeds won’t have come to the surface by this time, so you’ll end up wasting your money or having to repeat the process several months later. The weather has a big effect on weeds\u2014no matter the type of weed\u2014because of absorption levels, temperature, and other factors. Plus, weeds are less likely to grow in the soil during the winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like to finish sowing in the first 10 days of October, after that it becomes too wet and cold to establish a decent crop. The crops normally receive an autumn weed killer at this time of year, weeds are a lot easier to kill when they are small. pic.twitter.com\/aKtTWZSvSl<\/a><\/p>— Farmers Of The UK (@FarmersOfTheUK) April 28, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
