The best time to treat your winter weeds is of course during winter! By treating them straight away, you have more chance of getting rid of weeds before they germinate and drop their seeds back into your soil ready to attack bigger and better next time. So just how do you treat them? Well that depends on what it is you’re trying to get rid of! There are many weeds such as broadleaf, winter grass, clover, and soursobs just to name a few.
