Weeds taking over

HI all

i sowed a new lawn from scratch in Oct 10 and it has came on well, i have yet to cut it and now alot of weeds have came up to. should i use weed killer on it soon or wait until better weather or should i cut it first, the weather is rubbish at the minute raining all the time.



many thanks

 

Hello Jakleb. I wouldn't put weed killer on it just now - waste of time and money.
They don't work below a certain temperature and would just get washed off with the rain.
I would wait until after the grass has had it's first cut and see how things look then.

 

Weed killers don't work at low temperatures as there's no photosynthesis taking place. Wait till the grass is actively growing (when the soil temps are above about 7 degrees)

 

Thanks all...
