Winter weeds can be common in lawns during the colder seasons. In many parts of Australia, cool-season weeds can emerge during winter when temperatures drop, and the soil remains moist. These weeds can grow quickly and compete with desirable species for resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight. Broadleaf weeds include dandelion, chickweed, clover, as well as grassy weeds like winter grass and annual bluegrass.
To prevent winter weed growth in lawns, it is important to maintain healthy soil and grass. This can be achieved by fertilising the lawn with appropriate nutrients and using appropriate watering practices. Regular mowing of the lawn can also help keep winter weeds in check by removing the weed's top growth and preventing seed production. Hand-pulling or digging out weeds can be effective for smaller areas or patches of weeds, but for larger areas, herbicides may be necessary.
