Ortho Weed B-Gon: To Buy or Not to Buy

Jack Woods
I am very fusy when it comes to gardens and lawns and also when it comes to weeds. A lawn can only be called one, when there are no weeds in it. Otherwise it is called a weed patch and not a lawn. However, getting rid of weeds, specially crabgrass, is not so easy, so I decided that I was going to try out the Ortho Weed B-Gon Weed Killer.

But how thus the Ortho weed b-gon work? Let me tell you what I found out.

The Ortho Weed B-Gon Weed Killer is a chemical that comes on a 16 ounces bottle at the cost of $ 8.00 per bottle. Not very expensive, but not very cheap either, taking into consideration that it will only last for maybe two applications on a 2000 square feet lawn.

The Ortho Weed B-Gon is user-friendly, because it does not have strong smells or fumes that may affect over sensitive people and it comes with very simple instructions as to how to use it with a spray machine. All you have to do is mix in the right amount of Ortho Weed B-Gon with the right amount of water, spray it evenly on your lawn, or maybe weed patch, if that is what it has become and wait for the miracle to happen.

That is exactly what I did; I followed the instructions for mixing the Ortho Weed B-Gon mixture using half of the bottle, sprayed evenly on the lawn, making sure that there was no danger to anything or anybody around, and with the luck that the weather was just right for this kind of job. There was no strong smell of any kind and the Ortho Weed B-Gon Weed Killer was sprayed on my lawn like rain water. All I had to do was wait for the results to start showing.

I am very impatient person by nature, and while waiting for the results of a new endeavour, I cannot stay away from it for a very long time. I kept on coming back to check and make sure that the Ortho Weed B-Gon had done its job, but there was no change in the colour of the weeds. It all seemed as normal as usual. I told myself that I needed to have a little bit more of patience and wait a few days to give the Ortho Weed B-Gon time to work.

But after one week and no results, I lost my patience altogether and finished the other half of the bottle of Ortho Weed B-Gon on only one side of the lawn, thinking that maybe I had not put enough concentrate on last time.

Again many days passed and Ortho Weed B-Gon Weed Killer had done nothing for my crabgrass.

Maybe I should have paid more attention to the shopkeeper that advised me to do hard work instead.

    The label says it only works on broad leaf plants. Crabgrass is not a broadleaf plant.
