FoxFireFlame+Followwhy did my raised bed suddenly stop sprouting weeds this year?Last spring, my raised garden bed was a mess of weeds. I spent hours pulling them, only to see more pop up every week. This year, I tried something new. I laid down landscaping fabric before adding my soil. It felt a little weird covering the whole bed, but I cut holes for my veggies and hoped for the best. Now, my tomatoes and peppers are thriving, and I barely see any weeds. Water drains just fine, and I spend more time admiring my plants than yanking out invaders. I never thought a simple layer of fabric could make such a difference. My weekends are way more relaxing, and my garden looks better than ever. #gardening #raisedbeds #weedcontrol50Share

Hurry up and grab this lazy gardener’s spring weed control guide! 🌱Home Depot is currently offering a $20 discount on a bundled deal of Scotts pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides—one bag covers up to 5,000 sq. ft. of lawn! The deal ends April 3rd, so don’t wait! 🌿 Pre-emergent herbicide: Apply when soil temperatures are between 50–55°F to stop weeds (especially crabgrass) before they sprout. Now is the perfect time for Long Island, and you can check the best timing for your area on soiltemperature.app by entering your zip code. 🌧 How to apply: Use a spreader, a flower pot with holes, or even your hands (just wear gloves!). Water immediately or apply before rain for best results. Don’t seed new grass right after—this herbicide prevents all germination! 🌾 Post-emergent herbicide: If weeds pop up in May or June, use the second product in the bundle to eliminate them. ⚠️ Safety first: Wear gloves & a mask, and keep pets away for 24 hours! #gardening #weedcontrol00Share
