Preventing weeds early
Weed germination is the process by which weed seeds sprout and begin to grow into new plants. This typically occurs when soil temperatures and moisture levels are favorable for the specific weed species. Preventing weed germination is crucial in maintaining a healthy and weed-free lawn, as it stops the weeds from establishing themselves and competing with your grass for essential nutrients, water, and sunlight

How to Prevent
Applying a pre-emergent herbicide like Scotts Halts Crabgrass & Grassy Weed Preventer is an effective way to prevent weed germination. The herbicide creates a barrier in the soil that inhibits the growth of weed seedlings, thus preventing them from developing into mature plants.
To apply Scotts Halts Crabgrass & Grassy Weed Preventer, follow the label instructions for the correct application rate. Generally, you’ll need to apply 2.87 to 3.46 pounds of the product per 1,000 square feet of lawn area, depending on the targeted weeds and the strength of the formulation. Use a broadcast spreader to evenly distribute the granules across the entire lawn. It’s essential to water the lawn after application, as this will help activate the herbicide and move it into the soil.
Always read and follow the product label instructions for the specific herbicide you’re using, as this will provide you with the most accurate information on application rates, timings, and any precautions you should take to protect your lawn and the environment.
