Yarrow in the grass - means to combat
The yarrow is referred to in botany as a so-called cosmopolitan, as it occurs almost around the globe. However, this plant grows not only on many roadsides, but often undesirable in the lawn of your own garden.
Weigh the pros and cons of the yarrow
Many hobby gardeners want to maintain their own garden as perfect as a golf turf to meet aesthetic demands. On fertilized lawns, scab forms similar to the dandelion quite often occur because they rely on a well-drained soil and a relatively good supply of nutrients. The yarrow is a very useful medicinal plant, which has been cultivated and harvested for centuries in monastery gardens due to the contained essential oils. If you have pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs, the leaves and flowers of yarrow are suitable as an interesting and healthy supplement for these animals. Last but not least, the edible yarrow from an unfertilized natural grass can also be used in the kitchen.
Chemically combat the yarrow
If it is absolutely necessary to eradicate the yarrow from the lawn, the specialized trade offers various means for this. However, this must be selected active ingredients that do not attack the lawn itself. These are usually substances that act as growth promoters on the lawn and at the same time "starve" the yarrows. Please keep in mind that after using this chemical weed killer, the lawn should not be allowed to enter for a while, and the first lawn cut should be composted on a stalk inaccessible to children.
Use gentle methods against the yarrow
As a rule, the yarrow can only settle where there are already bald spots in the lawn. Therefore, always look for bald spots and green them as quickly as possible with lawn seeds. In addition, the following factors are helpful:
To prevent flowering of the yarrow in the lawn, it must be mowed well below the height of 8 centimeters.
Tips
The yarrow is a valuable plant with a sweetish scent of dainty flowers. This is more enrichment in the lawn than a real disruptive factor.
