Do you think I will win over the weeds?
What can I treat weeds with that will not hurt my flowers that may be growing with them????
Weeds is such a general term that I'd like to see it retired.
If you are planning to spread seeds over turf type running grasses, forget it.
Those invasive grasses people use as lawns are allelopathic. Won't much grow in them.
If you are talking about typical wildflower type "weeds", Chances are that you'll have some limited success... but you'd be better off digging beds, and pulling out the grasses and other undesired plants from the beds, while the seedlings are small.
It's always best to learn what the desirable naturals look like before pulling out or poisoning something irreplaceable.
The big question... is how you are planning to stop the road crews who have a habit of cutting down the wonderful wild flowers when they start blooming?
