Will this weed killer hurt my flowers?

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Mar 28, 2016Before you spray- what I see is a cool season weed- it is either Purple Deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) or Henbit and weeds that if you just pulled them up or even used a hoe to chop the tops off and put down at least 4" of mulch (maybe even a few layers of newspapers) could distinguish these weeds. http://www.thegardenfrogboutique.com/2016/03/purple-deadnettle-lamium-purpureum-is-a-cool-weather-weed-with-pretty-little-purple-flowers/Helpful Reply

William on Mar 28, 2016Anything you spray that kills the weeds will inadvertently also kill the plants. Since you can't bend or stoop, use a hoe to get at the weeds. Weed blocker fabric would be a plus, but a good 3" to 4" of mulch could stop the weeds. Maybe you could get one of the neighborhood kids to give you a hand.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Mar 28, 2016You can just make it easy on your self and smother the weeds out with heavy black plastic.You can not use any weed killer and obviously there are to many weeds to pull out.Helpful Reply
