Weeds are plants that are growing in a location that is unwanted by the owner. Most weeds are plants that are taking advantage of a situation that fits their specific needs.
In order to prevent weeds from growing in your lawn, you must have a healthy lawn and over seed to ensure the grass is thick and there is no room for weeds to grow.
When trying to grow any kind of plant the most important aspects are the soil and amount of sun it will receive. Every plant must be grown in its best growing conditions in order for it to remain healthy.
The Ontario Pesticide Ban came into effect on April 22, 2009 and prevents the spraying of most chemicals on lawns and gardens for esthetic reasons. Visit the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change website for more information about Ontario's Cosmetic Pesticides Ban.
