HOW NOT TO KILL WEEDS

- BRIAN UTHER

This spring, I noticed my neighbor spot-spraying weeds that had invaded his lawn. He told me he’d bought a weed killer at our local hardware store to wipe them out. I had weeds in my lawn too, so I decided to give his remedy a try. I went to the same hardware store, bought weed killer, then came home and attacked the weeds. After a few days, my lawn looked as spotted as a leopard. The weeds were dead, but so was the grass around them. Turns out, the product I had purchased was grass and weed killer. Now I’m the talk of the neighborho­od for my goof. I guess no one will be asking me for lawn care advice!
