Question of the Week 03/10/18

Question of the week!

Q: Hi! My aunt recently purchased a home and found out the backyard gravel is full of goat’s head thorns. Any advice as to how to best get rid of them? Thanks!

A: Ouch! Thanks for the question. A lot depends on the condition of the weed barrier under the gravel.

If it is full of goat heads, I would assume the weed barrier has deteriorated or possibly there is no weed barrier at all. The only way to get rid of those pesky goat heads is to actually pull up all the gravel, haul it out, and put in a new weed barrier and new gravel.
