Lawn care tips: How to apply lawn feed and weed killer without ‘burning grass’ - Express

Lawns can easily become overrun with weeds which can be difficult to remove without damaging the lawn. While it can be tempting to apply any old weed killer, it's important that the lawn also remains healthy. Gardener Rob Scott from Holland Park in London has shared his tips with Homebase for applying weed killer and feed to lawns.

Gardeners can use "weed and feed" which feeds the lawn while preventing weeds and moss from growing.

The correct weed and feed can Harden and strengthen grass.

The solution can be applied either in a granular form or as a soluble solution.

Gardeners will need a granular or soluble weed and feed solution, a watering can and a broom.

The whole lawn will need to be sprinkled with the solution.

It's important gardeners don't mow their lawn for around three days after the solution is applied.

The lawn also should not be walked on for three days after.

Those who choose to apply granular weed and feed should water their lawn two days after applying it if it hasn't rained.

Rob recommended buying and applying the solution twice a year in spring and autumn.

British Columbia's new restrictions on the use of certain rodent poisons may be having an unintended side effect, amid reports of growing rat and mouse populations. As of Jan. 31, B.C. permanently banned the sale and use of a class of poisons known as second-generation anti-coagulants, with an exception for certain sectors deemed "essential services," like food production or health-care facilities. The move is an extension of an 18-month ban first implemented in 2021, which followed advocacy by conservationists who said the rodenticides were killing owls, along with some other raptors and predators that eat rats and mice. 4:58 Looking at long-term and cooperative ways to manage the rat population "We were noticing a lot of animals were being secondarily poisoned by rodenticide
