Like many people, we were initially hesitant to get the 'jab' based on seemingly conflicting information spruiked by conspiracists and ignorant rumour mongers. So we did the right thing. We asked our professional. Our GP took the time to address any falsehoods or misconceptions. It took 20 minutes of my life to willingly give my arm to the initial vaccine. We walked away relieved, without any ill side effects, and now awaiting the second course. Don't be misled by ignorance. Speak to your doctor and get it done ...for your sake, and the sake of your community.

W**d, Feed, Pets and Kids!

When our customer’s have problematic w**ds in their lawn or gardens, they often ask us, “which is the best w**d killer to use?”.

Some w**d killers, or herbicides, are “non-selective” and kill all living plants. Some w**d killers target specific troublesome w**ds. Some are deemed to be ‘pet friendly’.

If you have pets and they are outdoors and you use a herbicide, there is speculation as to when it is potentially safe to allow your pet onto a lawn that has been treated. Some say up to 24 hours; some say 48 hours…others suggest waiting up to 3 days and even up to 10 days! Available information seems to suggest that once the herbicide is dry it has been absorbed into the plant and poses a no threat to pets or children. Hmm…so when is it safe?!

There are also “w**d and feed” solutions which are a combination of herbicides and fertiliser and can be in either liquid or granular form, but regardless of which type you choose, both kill just the w**ds, and not regular, healthy grass, unless you apply too much.

Products such as ‘Scotts Turf Builder W**d & Feed 3’ indicates that they are safe for pets when it is used according to the product label. Instructions indicate that you want to make sure pets are not in the area while applying the product. Scotts indicate that once the treated areas dry completely, chewing or eating grass will not be harmful and your pet can resume normal activity within the area.

If you wish to avoid using herbicides all together, there are a couple of organic solutions.

The ‘Doctor Kirchner Natural W**d & Grass Killer’ is a pet-safe w**d killer made from ocean saltwater, vinegar, and soap. This non-selective w**d killer is perfect for use on driveway cracks, sidewalks and other hardscape features. The simple and natural ingredients make it pet-friendly as well as kid-friendly.

Another effective vinegar solution would be 4 litres of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt and 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid that works as an effective and safe week killer. Spray the mixture on offending w**ds to kill them without harming your dogs, kids or other pets. Further information is available here: https://www.k9ofmine.com/dog-safe-w**d-killers/ .

Just remember that almost all herbicides or w**d killers contain some form of POISON. What ever you use, read the label carefully and if you are unsure, ask for advice.

As we head towards our Queensland ‘winter’, here are some tips on maintaining healthy lawns during our cooler months.

Longer is Ok
Leaving a little more green leaf helps your lawn photosynthesise and produce nutrients for your lawn. Cutting grass too short can scalp, brown and damage your lawn. Also be aware of leaves that cover your lawn as they will limit air and sunlight to the grass making the lawn more vulnerable to disease and w**ds.

Easy on the Watering!
Over-water during the colder months can increase the possibility of turf diseases or rotting of the thatch layer. Lawns will usually receive enough moisture from dew and infrequent rainfalls. Check the soil for moisture and water only if needed. As spring approaches you can water more frequently.

Fertilise
Use the correct fertiliser. Apply a high quality winter fertiliser that includes a mix of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium one month prior to the onset of winter and then again in July.

W**ds
W**ds will become more active with the onset of winter. Of course the longer they are left, the more they will become problematic. It is essential that to get rid of them as early as possible. If you have pets, there is lots of information on the internet about which poisons are ‘pet friendly’.

Pruning
Overhanging bushes and trees will increase the risk of damage to your lawn. Branches that extend over the lawn and cast a shade in winter will cause deterioration of the lawn and should be trimmed back.

As you are probably aware, we have entered into a Government enforced 3 day lockdown due to the pandemic. We will therefore need to temporarily reschedule customer's odd jobs and tasks until further notice. Apparently there will be a further review by the Health Department this coming Wednesday which should give us some insight as to when we may be able to reschedule your bookings. I will communicate with those of you who have scheduled appointments once we learn when the lockdown will effectively end. Please stay safe and healthy. Kind regards, Mike (Brissie Odd Jobs) 😷
