How do you kills weeds without killing bushes?

Answer 1

To kill weeds and not the bushs is done by using your weed killer product up to the roots of the bush. Most roots of a bush are no wider then the branches of the bush. Then you will manually need to remove the weeds around the bushs. Also very important do not get the weed product on any of the bush's leaves or branches. I use a weed product that is organitc and has never killed anything but my weeds. Please note that I have nothing fancy or expensive in my yard. So a little care and some manual work you will have a weed free lawn and healthy bushs.

Answer 2

Hand removal, mulches, and treatments with pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides are ways to kill weeds in rose bushes. Manual removal may leave behind roots, mulches may take time even though pebbles are quite effective, and weedkillers must not contain glysophate but may have as active ingredients oryzalin or pendimethalin for pre-emergent applications and clethodim, fluazifop-p-butyl or sethoxydim for post-emergent schedules.

Answer 3

Garden hoes, gloved hands, landscape fabric, mulches, pruners and weighted-down black plastic are ways to kill weeds under bushes. Lawn mowers can be too destructive and invasive if bushes heave their roots or locate roots close to the surface. Removal by hand or such hand-held tools as hoes and pruners take longer than the weed-suppressing weight of 3-inch- (7.62-centimeter-) high mulches.

Answer 4

Dig them out by hand, that is the only way if you don't want to damage the hedge.
