    Hi,
    New house - grass is growing.

    I can see weeds coming up already.

    What things can I do for the grass?

    Is it too early to be getting weed killer?

    don't cut the grass too short; it allows it to form deeper roots and compete better against the weeds.

    Hi Tim,

    there is a herbicide called Re-Act, that kills weeds in lawns but is no harm to grass. It will be only avail. in farm type shops. if your near dublin , NAD near swords have it. Two sprays a year and lawn is good.

    PS-Be carefull comming back out of the industrial estate onto the main road,as that road can be a bitch of a place to get back out onto.

    Will any of those places take back the empty container?
