I'm in kingman az and I'm having a huge issue with dried up foxtails scattered all over our garden rock. We have a half acre full! We just moved in and realized we have a huge issue with them. What do we do, rake up a half acre of landscape rock or remove it. There's already black weed blocker under the rock but the place had been vacant and neglected for over a year. It's over ran by foxtails thru out. I'm thinking the easiest way maybe to section off and re-rock? :/
Rake, hoe, and hand pull. That's what I ended up doing. Ugghh.
Yes it did. Burned down to ash. When it cools down this winter I plan to install some of the artificial lawn stuff I've seen. My daughter has it and it has survived 7 dogs and about 8 years of Arizona summers and looks great. And no weeds!
Make sure there is no burn ban in your area. I planned on torching them, but don't want to risk a $10G fine! I was wondering if the green ones are safe to mow or once they turn brown laying on ground (after mowed) will there be that danger?
We have no burn times, and no burn for "weeds". I used a 500,000 BTU propane torch late at night in small areas to burn the dry seeds that dropped that wouldn't collect in lawn mower bag. Quick and safe as we wet the area we don't want burned. When bagging take care to remove all seed pods from the collection bag or you will spread them everywhere you go. I have a second mower but still pull all the seed pods out of the bag. After destroying the seeds, keep area mowed very short. Walk the yard every day. Pull any foxtails as soon as you see them growing. But if kept mowed short not a problem. Spray with grass killer before seed pod develops in area you can't mow, rocky hill like in our back yard.
Similar method works for goat head thorns. Painful for dogs but not as dangerous. Just walk the yard daily either spraying with weed/grass killer or pull and throw in garbage before pods develop. Using a small amount of weed killer daily is better than area treatments in my mind. I rarely have to use now. If pods have developed carefully remove entire plant and throw in a sealed garbage can. After a few weeks you will start to gain control.
Hello, I would put landscape fabric down, then do a nice rock in that are, like a limestone or rainbow rock, you could then plant a few drought resistant shrubs
