I just do not like to weed at all especially on those very hot cummer days so I try to wait until it is cloudy but sometimes that may mean that it is a little rainy which is fine…however, you then end up tracking mud into your house which is then something else you have to clean up. So before you go outside and you know that it is already going to be a little muddy out there where you are going just put a plastic bag over you shoes and tie it with an elastic or ribbon around your ankles. That you your feet stay dry and when you take the bag off you have no mud!
