As the scorching summer approaches in Tucson and Green Valley, so does the anticipation of the monsoon season. While these rains bring much-needed relief from the heat, they also pave the way for an unwelcome guest: weeds. The months leading up to monsoon season are critical for homeowners to take proactive measures to prevent weed growth following the summer storms.
1. Early Prevention: Start early by implementing preventive measures before the monsoon season hits. This includes clearing out existing weeds and applying pre-emergent product to inhibit weed seed germination.
2. Proper Irrigation Techniques: Adjust irrigation systems to prevent oversaturation of soil, which can encourage weed growth. Drip irrigation or soaker hoses help target water directly to plants and minimize moisture in weed-prone areas.
3. Regular Maintenance: Regularly walk around your property to spot and remove any emerging weeds before they establish roots and begin to flower. This includes hand-pulling weeds or the use of a professional post-emergent application service.
4. Stay Vigilant: Weed control is an ongoing process, especially in Southern Arizona’s climate. Stay vigilant throughout the summer months and promptly address any weed outbreaks to prevent them from spreading.
