I was wondering if I spray a weed killer in each one, if there’s a tool, or if i just go around with a small landscape rake?

Thanks

I cut out a small square of weed cloth, then make hole in center of square then place the weed cloth square with hole over the sprinkler head. Now put donut back in place over the weed cloth square and sprinkler head. This will help prevent weeds from growing around sprinkler head, though I still spray with weed killer occasionally.

That should help keep the grass or weeds from growing over the head

Ok, not home currently. What is the diameter of those donuts? Maybe I'll make some before we go back.

The Ace in Wildwood didn’t have any of the cleaners in stock.
I made the vinegar solution and sprayed.
Will order the tool from Toro.
Seems like the weeds come from the ground, but over/around the donuts.

Ace Hardware in Spanish Springs has a tool that.

I spray Ortho weed killer in them and trip around them if needed. I do not use Round up since it was announced it causes cancer. Actually joined the lawsuit against them.

Do you use household vinegar or industrial strength and is it safe for flowers?
