Hey lovelies ā¤ļø
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese š
Welcome to my blog š¤
In this post that I published about eight days ago I shared how my husband and I were able to tackle the fast-growing weeds that grow in front of our house using an herbicide called Force Up. It was getting tiring watching weeds grow just after some days after clearing them using cutlass due to the constant rainfall we have been experiencing lately. Hence, the reason we opted for the herbicide that is said to kill the weeds from the root.
So, it is been over 7 days since we carried out the spraying process and I'm glad to inform you that the herbicide worked just as we were told. It took about four days before I begin to notice the first signs of the weeds changing colour, that is, they were gradually going from fresh green leaves to yellowish colour. By the sixth day it was very obvious that the leaves were beginning to wither off and I'm sure in the next couple of days it will be a total and complete result.
Remember I was getting scared when it began to rain when we were spraying the grass but like I noted in the previous post that my husband made me know that the rain isn't going to spoil all our hours of work rather it will help the chemical to go down the roots of the weeds faster thereby aiding our efforts. So, seeing the weeds actually getting dried off is a confirmation of the fact that the rain didn't wash away the chemicals as I have thought. This is me telling you that if by any chance you want to use herbicides on the weeds in your house or farm, you should not be bothered when it begins to rain. You may hold on a bit for the rain to finish falling so that you don't get drenched.
From today, I would note how many weeks it will take for the grass to start growing back so that I can have a concrete conclusion on whether it is better to cut the weeds using cutlass or continue using herbicides. In terms of cost, it is quite affordable to use herbicides. We bought a bottle of the Force Up herbicide for #3000 and we didn't use up to half of the bottle, which means I can still use it for like one or more spraying sessions. Apart from that, it is less stressful using a sprayer than using cutlass to cut grass. So, we may be opting for the use of herbicides again and again.

Before I round up, let me briefly add that it is important to read the instructions on the label of the herbicide or any chemical you are using so as to do the right things. For instance, if you have kids or pets that like playing outside it is best to keep them away from the area you applied the chemicals to for at least three days because it can cause serious damage to their health. Even as an adult you should make sure the chemical does not have any contact with your mouth or eyes, you may wear some masks in your face or be extremely careful
Thanks for reading and see you in my next one.
