Do you suffer from recurring, rampant weeds in your lawn? Or perhaps pest insects throwing a spanner in the works? For example, don't know what to do about red ants? By applying the right pesticides, you can rid your garden of unruliness such as moss, weeds, fungi and diseases.

Using pesticides

A beautiful garden with a radiant lawn and abundantly flowering plants. Sometimes things go for the better, but unfortunately having a healthy garden is not a given. It needs regular maintenance to keep the garden in a good condition. Even if you do everything you can to maintain the garden as well as possible, it can still happen that weeds, moss and other ailments rear their heads. It may be a small thing you can tackle by hand, but some stubborn weeds can proliferate quickly. In this case, pesticides come in handy.

Types of pesticides for your garden

There are several types of pesticides available. So many that it would be too much to list them all. In general, we distinguish between liquid pesticides and granular pesticides. Most common are liquid pesticides. These can be applied using a pressure sprayer, often by mixing the active ingredient with water. Liquid pesticides can be applied simply, precisely and, above all, effectively to the ailment to be controlled.

Slightly less known are pesticides in granular form. A good example is Moss & weeds away from the Pokon brand. This is a lawn fertiliser with direct action against common weeds such as daisies, clovers and plantain. This pesticide also has an indirect effect against moss thanks to the added iron sulphate.

Weeds in the lawn

Sooner or later we all have to deal with them. Airborne weed seeds can blow over onto the lawn. Weeds also grow quickly in shady, damp areas. However, weeds in the lawn usually arise following a lack of maintenance and care. Think of a lack of nutrition in the soil. Or because the lawn is mowed too little; or, on the contrary, cut too short. Although some weeds can certainly be seen, they are usually better off in the lawn. Sometimes you can remove the weeds by hand, for example with this Gardena weed cutter or other hand tools. Extremely precise and effective, but very labour-intensive. For large areas and stubborn weeds, it is sometimes better to use a pesticide. A pesticide causes the weeds to die off and not come back. Weed control can be applied over the lawn without affecting the grass.

Moss and weeds

Do you suffer from both moss and weeds? The growth of moss between the grass is a common problem. In the long run, moss suffocates the lawn, causing it to turn yellow and even die. Moss grows quickly on acidic soils. Soils naturally acidify. If you do not maintain your lawn properly by spreading lime every year, the soil becomes increasingly acidic. Moss then has a chance to rear its head. Do you have a largely shaded garden? Shady spots combined with wetness/shakiness are vulnerable spots in the garden that moss is only too happy to exploit. Moss growth can be prevented by sowing shade grass in shaded areas and by maintaining the lawn by spreading lawn lime. Is moss already growing in your lawn? Then you can remove it with pesticides. The most widely used and effective means of combating moss is the spreading of ferrous sulphate. Want to know what ferrous sulphate is and how it works?

Nematodes

The textbook example of natural control: using nematodes. Nematodes are the natural enemies of many pests such as grubs, leatherjackets and ants. Nematodes can be mixed with water and sprayed over the area to be controlled. The nematodes will fight the pests directly by entering the insects' bodies and then infecting them with their intestinal flora. Curious about the exact action and application of nematodes?

Are pesticides dangerous to use?

Sustainability is a high priority for us. We want to offer high-quality pesticides, based on the principle that nature and biodiversity are affected as little as possible. Wherever possible, we always prefer natural pesticides. In some cases, such as when controlling stubborn weeds, you cannot avoid using a somewhat stronger agent. These agents are not always ecologically sound; but this also means that, unfortunately, there is no organic alternative available. The pesticides we carry in our range are not dangerous. We keep a close eye on the guidelines and updates of the CTGB (Board for the Authorisation of Plant Protection Products) and anticipate these, so that you as a customer can always work responsibly and safely in the garden with high-quality pesticides.

Alternatives to pesticides

When you are dealing with a lawn problem, the obvious solution is to fight it with a pesticide. There are also products you can use as alternatives to combat moss and weeds, among others. For instance, you can use ground covers like coconut chips. These decorative shreds retain moisture longer, making the soil less likely to dry out. This way, the root system can continue to develop undisturbed, so weeds don't get the chance to grow as quickly. You can also sow green manures to outsmart weeds. Green manures provide smooth, good ground cover, which means weeds don't have room to grow. Something in the guise of: better prevention than cure.
