  • hi, i was wondering if you might have a suggestion for killing weeds on a baseball infield. we have been using "round-up" in the past but it seems that we are always trying to catch up to the weeds and it gets very costly and seem to take forever to make any progress. after winter we always have a weed (not sure what it is) already established and manually dig them out but it takes a long time, then the other spring weeds are coming and we just can't get ahead. any suggestions would be great.. thanks very much jason hanes west hants baseball association.

    Jason,

    To kill the weeds you can use the 20% Vinegar, when applied during the heat of the day it will kill just about everything it touches. In the future you should probably spread a pre emergent out in the spring and fall to keep the weed seeds from germinating. A good organic pre emergent that you can use is called corn gluten meal. If you can not find that in your area check with you local garden center or nursery and they can tell you what brands of pre emergent you can choose from.
