Are your winter weeds getting out of control?

During the winter months, you will probably notice your lawn change significantly. For example, your lawn will become brown as it enters winter dormancy. You will also probably observe an overgrowth of weeds. Unfortunately, these pesky winter weeds in Arizona can be very difficult to remove, especially if you don’t have help or the right tools. 

Common Arizona Winter Weeds

Though there are quite a few varieties of weeds that you’ll see popping up in Arizona during the winter, one of the most common types of winter weeds in Arizona is the Poa annua, which is also referred to as annual meadow grass. This type of winter weed usually sprouts in January and February. Lolium, or ryegrass, and Poa annua germinate at the same time. Unfortunately, you cannot use herbicide to get rid of the Poa annua because it will also damage the ryegrass.

In comparison to other types of weeds, the Poa annua is small and has a greater tendency to cover an entire lawn. Unfortunately, as you can imagine, it can be difficult to completely weed a lawn that is overrun with annual meadow grass. Chances are, you have far better things to do than spend hours pulling the weeds from your lawn all by yourself.
