Why cant the lawn figure out this trick? asks Jerry t Goodspeed, Utah State Univer-'sit- y Extension horticulturist Fall is a great time to control weeds, he says. One reason is the satisfaction of enjoying a long summer hying to kill them and knowing that snow will soon tty bringing the battle to a brief halt for the winter. The truth of the matter is that blanket of white will probably only disguise the wounded weeds that will spend the winter planning a new attack. "Many like to start fall weed control in the garden, Goodspeed says. By now, the sweet com has died, and the summer squash has been intentionally killed and the beets have been harvested and placed in the freezer. This leaves open garden space, exposing the weeds, so that they can really be harassed. As garden vegetables are removed, perennial weeds such as field bindweed (morning glory), mallow and dandelions can either be dug or sprayed with a herbicide than green, consider using a broadleaf weed killer. Getting rid of these weeds in the fell should humble them sufficiently that they wont rear their ugly heads until well after Easter, or possibly Memorial Day.

Another benefit of covering die soil is it makes it more difficult for the weeds to begin growing. This is especially helpful in controlling early springweeds non-selecti- ve Once the weeds are treated, give them two weeks to act dead, 'then till them into the soil.

After spraying i them, wait until they look dead, pull them out of the ground and dispose of them someplace from the garden. ;away ' Lawn weeds can also be treated in the fall, which hope that appear the day after the snowmelts.
