Is it too late to put sugar on weeds now? If not, do you

Hi Charlotte,

Any ideas on killing Chickweeds in my lawn? It's everywhere
so I can't hand dig it out. Would Vinigar kill it?

Any suggestions would really help me?

Thanks in advance, Irene

Hi Irene;
If you put enough vinegar on it to kill the chickweed, you will also kill the grass, and anything else growing there.
Read my answers about organics, and using sugar.
I had chickweed too, along with crabgrass, johnson grass, dandelions, and all the others.
going organic enriched my lawn so much, weeds do not even come up anymore.
I started the organic program 8 years ago, just putting sugar on my lawn, and cutting out ALL chemicals. the weeds that came up every spring were fewer each year, until the 4th year, none came up at all, and none have come up since.
I water deeply, put sugar in the spring and fall, mow and edge. That is all, and my lawn is gorgeous.

Answer
Yep, ordinary table sugar. 1 pound per 250 sq.ft., and then water it in very well.
Deep watering encourages the roots to go deep, and a deep root system helps protect against heat, cold and drought damage.
I waret at least 6 inches deep. water till it starts to run off the yard, turn it off and let that soak in for about an hour or so, and water again.
when it is watered deep enough, your foot will give when you walk on it, like when you walk on a soft carpet.
It isn't too late. You can do the sugar anytime. I do it in early spring and fall, when I always did my spring and fall feeding.
That way I don't have to tax my poor old brian and forget to do it.LOl

I LOVE sharing what I am learning about organics.
The bonus for me has been my Asthma is about 90% better since I stopped using fertilizers and insecticides.
I use organics for no pests in the house too.
