Q: What types of fertilizers or treatments are recommended for lawns?

• <div><p>Choosing fertilizers: slow-release for steady nutrients, organic for eco-friendliness, or specific blends for soil deficiencies or grass types.</p></div>

Q: Are herbicides for weed control safe?

• <div><p>All herbicides come with risks, but you can control and mitigate risks by discussing your options with your weed service company before application. Some companies use milder or sustainable herbicides more times per season to control weeds rather than one to two herbicide sprayings annually. You can also ask your professional about pet-friendly and kid-friendly services. In most cases, though, you can wait a few days after the application for the herbicides to soak into the ground, at that point they shouldn&rsquo;t pose a risk to you or your family.</p></div>

Q: Should I pull weeds wet or dry?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to pull weeds when the soil is wet, as it&rsquo;s much easier. Wet soil is much softer than dry soil, making it easier to pull the entire weed up by the root. Also, since the soil is wet, the roots will let go of the soil and slide up with less resistance. Be careful when working on your wet garden, though, as wet soil is easier to compact, which can harm your plants.</p></div>
