There isn't a specific day you can start. You need to read the label of the product you will be using. Most chemicals need warmer weather to be effective. There are some new ones on the market that are effective in cooler temperatures. Hit the stores and read the labels. Set those that work in cool temps in your shopping cart. Once you have a few then go back and find out if they are effective against the weeds you want to get rid of.





Good luck!
Reply:Your area is not that far off from mine and im using fetilizer now, I wouldnt use the weed killer though til atleast the 3rd week in April or when you have a week of atleat 60 degree weather.
Reply:Call a local garden center or lawn service place. They should have a good idea when to begin.
