The weeds you'd be pulling in February are decided this month. ๐ฑ
๐ FALL EDITION: Winter weeds like chickweed and annual bluegrass sprout once the weather cools. A pre-emergent put down on an established lawn in October stops them before they ever come up.
While you're out there this month, rake the leaves before they pile up and keep mowing at 2 to 3 inches.
๐ Bottom line: stop winter weeds now and you won't be fighting them in spring.
