Warm Weather – Don`t Put Pre-emergent Down
Q: With the recent warm weather, should I put pre-emergent down?
A: I don’t recommend it. It’s actually soil temperatures that determine when summer annual weed seeds germinate. Soil temperatures won’t get high enough to stimulate that until late February at the earliest.
