yard help

I am not very good with plants and anything green and would like some help. We have weed problems and also insects etc in the soil. I plan to pull the weeds from the flower bed area and plant the flowers. And i am going to use this weed prevented+fertiliser for the flower beds to prevent them from growing back again. I am going to pull the weeds in the grass area as well and then use a weed killer.

Also how can i kill and prevent the insects and keeray makoray? They seem to be running around everywhere when i pull out the weeds :frowning:

Is that good enough? Any more ideas or suggestions are most welcome. I am such a novice at this, so any help will be appreciated to make my yard look nice and pretty.

Re: yard help

keray makory are not necessarily bad. It depends on what kind they are. Think of it as them as being part of the eco system.

Anyway, regarding the weed killers. Usually they have written on it what kind of a weed killer it is. Would it kill just the weeds and not the grass etc.

Re: yard help

Yep it says it will kill the weeds only but ofcourse i will keep it away from the flower beds.

Also make sure where you are spraying it, it won't drift down to places you don't want it. For example, if the yard is un-even and you spray it on a slope and in the mean time it rains or the sprinklers get turned on, then whatever you spray might run down the slope and kill other stuff too.
