Understanding Soil

Weed Control

All British Sugar’s TOPSOIL products are derived from prime arable soils and its natural fertility will encourage good plant growth but this does mean weeds need to be controlled.  This is particularly important in the early stages of seeding to allow the sown grasses/species to thrive; if left unchecked the weeds will outcompete the grass or plants.

Within areas sown to grasses, the control of annual weeds is normally achieved by regular cutting/mowing.  Control in planted areas is achieved by mulching; if a herbicide is used, please check the label for efficacy and application.
