How Does One Earth Kill Weeds so Quickly?
The best way to eliminate dandelions and other weeds in your lawn without chemicals is by a unique control method – nutrient overdose. The best product for killing dandelions without using any chemicals is One Earth Weed Control. This product contains edible and plant-based ingredients, along with a special form of iron. It also has natural chelating agents, which help make nutrients in the soil easier for weeds to absorb.
The ingredients in One Earth Weed Control act as catalysts for oxygen reduction and create reactive oxygen radicals. These radicals cause damage to the weed’s cells, leading to its death. Dandelions and broad-leaf weeds can’t cope with this nutrient overload because they use them up too quickly, which causes them to die. After you apply this natural weed killer, dandelions usually turn black and die within 24 to 72 hours.
One Earth Weed Control is the best organic weed killer for lawns. This all organic product will kill dandelions as fast or faster than chemicals
One Earth Weed Control kills dandelions 90%+ per application. Especially in the spring when the dandelions are not fully mature.

Which Weeds Does One Earth Weed Control Kill?
Bindweed: (Good Control 60-80%, but it will typically grow back quickly) Bindweed is an indicator of drought stress or improper lawn watering. The best way to control Bindweed is by using Drive XLR8.
Black Medic: (Good Control 60-80%) Higher weed control can be achieved (80-90% control) if One Earth Weed Control is applied and then a second application is performed 7-10 days later. This weed blooms from April to October. This weed is commonly found in lawns with low fertility.
Broadleaf Plantain: (Okay Control 50-70%+) This is an indicator of soil compaction. Soil compaction can be caused by too much water and plantain can be cured via aeration. Note: We get about 80-90% control if One Earth Weed Control is applied and then a second application is performed 7-10 days later.
Bull Thistle: (Okay Control 50-70%+) Thistle is found in both lawn, non-turf areas, as well as native areas. A healthy, dense lawn is the best defense against thistle. By mowing tall, you will discourage the seeds and roots from growing.
Canada Thistle: (Okay Control 50-70%+) Best control rates are achieved on smaller weeds. You will mostly seed only the young stage of this weed in a lawn. This weed is also commonly found in pasture areas where it can grow up to 4 feet tall.
Common Chickweed: (Poor Control 40-60%) Higher weed control can be achieved (80-90% control) if One Earth Weed Control is applied and then a second application is performed 7-10 days later.
Coarse Tall Fescue: (No Control 0%) Since this is a grass, One Earth will not control this, because it is so closely related to the turf grasses. We offer a special control for coarse fescue grasses which requires 3 back-to-back-to-back applications. Learn more here.
Crabgrass: (No Control 0%) One Earth does not control crabgrass. This weed is natural erosion control, so it will move into bare areas and along the edges of the grass.
The best control for crabgrass is using Drive XLR8.
Dandelion: (Excellent Control 90%+, especially in the spring) Dandelions prefer full sun and moist soils with good drainage, but will grow in just about every light condition. Once established, this plant is so resilient that it can grow in poor soil conditions where other plants especially grass will not grow.
False Dandelion: (Excellent Control 80-90%+) This weed is also known as Cat’s Ear. This weed is most commonly seen in the fall. An easy way to tell this from a dandelion is by the leaves. The false dandelion has fine hairs on the leaves.

Warning About Drought Stressed Lawns
One Earth Weed Control can, in rare cases, cause temporary browning in drought-stressed lawns or in grass with shallow root systems. This browning typically occurs when lawns do not follow the 1-2-3-2-1 lawn watering technique or in areas with inadequate sprinkler coverage.
The damage may last between 1 to 6 weeks, depending on the overall health of the lawn; however, the grass will recover if the affected area is thoroughly watered. This temporary damage is mainly seen in lawns with shallow root systems, which can result from improper watering techniques or poor irrigation coverage.
If damage occurs, please hand-water the affected areas deeply for three consecutive days. We also recommend conducting a sprinkler audit to prevent future issues.

One Earth Weed Control for Lawns FAQ’s
How Does One Earth Weed Control Weeds in a Lawn without Chemicals?
Dandelions and other broadleaf weeds in your lawn are effectively targeted because they struggle to cope with excess nutrients, which they metabolize too quickly, resulting in their demise. One Earth Weed Control contains powerful ingredients that act as catalysts for oxygen reduction, generating unstable and highly reactive oxygen radicals like hydroxyl radicals. This process inflicts cellular damage within the weeds, ensuring they don’t stand a chance to thrive.
When is the Best Time of Year to Apply a Weed Killer in a Lawn?
Weeds are easiest to control when they are young, actively growing, and have plenty of moisture. For most weeds, including dandelions, this is typically in the spring, especially from late April to May. The ideal time to apply a weed killer is shortly after a rainstorm or when temperatures are cool. During these times, the stomata (pores on the leaves) of the plants are fully open, making them more receptive to absorbing the weed killer.
One Earth Weed Control achieves the best results on dandelions when applied after a rainstorm or after the lawn is thoroughly watered. Our full-season lawn care programs are designed to apply weed killers during the periods when weeds are most susceptible to control. Organic weed control applications are usually scheduled about every 6-8 weeks. For fully mature weeds, multiple applications may be necessary.
Is One Earth Weed Killer Safe for Kids and Pets?
One Earth is a food-grade product that is generally considered non-toxic to both people and pets, except in cases where allergies may be a concern. The ingredients in One Earth Weed Control are commonly found in various foods and are deemed edible.

Therefore, while we cannot definitively claim that One Earth is safe for children and pets, we can confirm that it is made from edible, non-toxic ingredients.
One Earth is a liquid that is applied using a commercial spray tank.
One Earth typically achieves weed control results between 60% and 80%, depending on the type of weeds and their maturity. We have found that it works exceptionally well on dandelions, reaching a weed control rate of 90% or higher under ideal conditions.
One Earth consists of ingredients that are sticky when wet. To avoid sticky feet and paws, we recommend staying off the lawn until the product has dried. Depending on the weather, this drying time may take just a few minutes or on a cooler day it could take up to 24 hours.
If you prefer to be extra cautious, we suggest waiting until the lawn has been watered before walking on it.
To achieve the best results we recommend watering the lawn the day or night before the application and water the lawn again 6-24 hours after the application water.
One Earth is rain proof with as soon as 30 minutes after the application has been completed.
The application is rainproof 30 minutes after it has been applied. If it rains, please wait 4 days to determine if the weed control is effective.

If the weather is dry, be sure to water the lawn after the application is completed. Watering 4 to 24 hours after the application has been completed will help improve the effectiveness of the weed control.
Please note that while dandelion flowers will not turn black, the plant tissue will. To remove the dandelion flowers, you can mow the lawn, and they should not return.

In Colorado, we cannot legally say anything is safe or not, but we can let you know that all the ingredients are edible and considered non-toxic to humans, animals, and bees.
For optimal results, we recommend mowing your lawn either two days before or two days after a One Earth application. This timing ensures that the grass is short enough for us to effectively spray the weeds, while also allowing the weeds to have enough surface area to absorb the product.
However, as long as the grass is shorter than 8 inches, there are no restrictions on when the lawn was last mowed. You can mow the lawn as soon as a few minutes before the application or several weeks prior without any issues.
