CONTROL WEEDS THE NATURAL WAY

You can control weeds with organic herbicides and fungicides, and other organic gardening supplies that are healthier for your plants, your soil, and you.

Our garden supply center has organic weed control products from premium suppliers including Espoma in liquid, spray and granular form. They are made from weak natural organic acids and lemon, clove oil and other people- and pet-friendly ingredients. Fatty acid weed killers dissolve cell membranes, dehydrating the weed. Acetic acid weed killers affect weeds’ roots and produce quick results. These weak acids break down in a few days, so they have no lasting impact on worms and other soil life.

Organic weed killers and herbicides can knock out dandelion, foxtail, poison hemlock, ragweed, Canadian thistle, clover, milkweed, ivy leaf, pigwood, nettles, buttercups, quack grass, mosses, liverwort and other plant pests. And we have the gardening tools that will make it much easier to take care of your garden and lawn by hand weeding. Garden forks, spades, push-pull hoes, and flame weeders.

The best form of organic weed control is prevention. Rich organic soil you can create with home composting keeps your plants healthy so weeds don’t get started. We have organic mulch, and mulchers and shredders to make mulch and ground cover that keep weeds from growing. Organic germination inhibitors can stop weeds from propagating. Talk to our staff about effective methods of stopping their growing cycle, and organic gardening techniques.
