I live in Florida..jacksonvill.
I have a backyard, grass, covered with weeds. I want to weed and fertilize.
I have an adorable dog. She sometimes digs holes. Is there anything i can use for the weeds and fertilizer. I’ve been told if you spray,let it dry, won,t HURT the dog. But she digs a deep hole and will get it on her paws and nails.
Any ideas would be so appreciated.
And ....I will allow her to dig the occasional holes.
We don’t have any problems with weeds. We have a few wild flowers in the side yard- which we don’t mow down until they have flowered.
We also have dandelions, but they are edible, so we don’t do anything about those either. We have been living here for 40 years, and we have never fertilized the yard, other than our own compost, leaf mulch, and grass clippings.
Here is a cheap weed killer - full strength works best. Sometimes need to repeat a few times.
VINEGAR 1 gallon
SALT 1 cup
SOAP 1 Tblsp
WATER dilute as desired
Hope this helps. Others may have better suggestions.
“And ....I will allow her to dig the occasional holes.”
Ahhhh, this reminds me of a time after my Doberman, Zeus, had just come through a tough illness. We were out in the yard and he started to dig ... so I LET HIM. We never really allowed it before, but he was so happy digging away.
I filled it most of the way back in a day or two later.
A few months after that I stepped in the thing and nearly broke my ankle. Maybe you could teach her to just dig up the weeds. :)
