Should You Declare War on Chickweed?
Every spring, chickweed takes over lawns like an uninvited guest who refuses to leave—until summer kicks in and Mother Nature gives it the boot. Before you rush to the store for herbicides, let’s talk about why you should just sit back, relax, and let chickweed handle its own eviction. Spoiler alert: It’s going to die off anyway.
Hippie Fertilizing is here to tell you: don’t waste your time, money, or lawn’s health fighting chickweed—it’s temporary, and nature will take care of it for free. But when it comes to lush, thriving grass, that’s where we come in! Instead of waging war on weeds, let’s focus on feeding your soil, strengthening your lawn, and naturally boosting its health—because a well-fed lawn is the best defense against weeds all year long.
The Frost Fighter: Chickweed’s Cold Tolerance
Think a little frost will take chickweed down? Think again. This persistent plant can survive temperatures as low as 7°F and even photosynthesize below freezing. It’s basically the Chuck Norris of cool-season weeds.
Here at Hippie Fertilizing, we don’t see chickweed as the enemy. In fact, we embrace what it teaches us—healthy soil supports all kinds of life, including temporary visitors like chickweed. Instead of reaching for chemicals, let us help you nourish your soil so your grass outcompetes weeds naturally.

When Chickweed Loves to Party: Germination & Growth
Chickweed isn’t just some random intruder—it waits for the perfect conditions to crash your lawn party. Thriving in temperatures between 54–68°F, it spreads easily in spring and fall but won’t germinate once the heat hits 86°F. Basically, as soon as summer comes knocking, chickweed packs its bags and disappears.
So what can Hippie Fertilizing do? We help your lawn thrive year-round with natural fertilization methods, organic compost topdressing, and proper mowing habits that encourage deep-rooted, resilient grass. Want fewer weeds? Feed your soil, not the problem.

The Self-Destruct Button: Why Chickweed Dies on Its Own
Chickweed has a built-in expiration date. Once the temperatures rise and the soil dries out, chickweed naturally wilts, withers, and vanishes. No herbicide required. Instead of fighting nature, why not work with it?
At Hippie Fertilizing, we focus on building healthy, living soil that supports a strong, thick lawn—the best natural defense against weeds. Our organic fertilizers and soil amendments improve microbial activity, water retention, and nutrient cycling, creating the kind of environment where your grass thrives, and weeds struggle.
