What is the best way to deal with weeds?

If you are familiar with weed control, then you probably know firsthand the weeding of the garden plot. Despite the fact that most gardeners most often advise this method, in practice it is impossible not to notice that it is extremely difficult to implement.

This is primarily due to the fact that weeding cannot guarantee absolute disposal of weeds, and besides, it takes a lot of free time.

Another well-known method is to mulch the soil around the planted plants. For this, the earth is necessarily covered with a dark film that does not give weeds the right to grow and develop. In the last couple of years, gardeners have become especially active in using special solutions — herbicides — to quickly remove unwanted plants.

Of course, today the destruction of weeds with the help of them is the most effective, but it is only important to know in advance how they should be used.

The nuances of getting rid of weeds on the lawn

If in order to clear the garden of weeds there are a huge number of different means and techniques, then in order to eliminate the «invaders» of the lawn in a short time, you will have to really work hard.

The fight against weeds that grow on lawn grass can continue throughout the summer. If in a situation with beds, they can be quickly sprayed and then wait for weeds to be removed without worrying about them after that for up to two months, then the lawn will have to be dealt with regularly and only this will help to achieve a really neat and beautiful garden.

Folk methods of weed control

Most of the gardeners will be able to easily offer today everyone their favorite folk remedy for weeds, which will allow you to get rid of them in a short time and at the same time be as safe as possible for the crop.

We clean the beds with salt, vinegar

The first thing to do is to prepare a solution consisting of salt, any dishwashing detergent and vinegar. When preparing the solution, carefully monitor the proportions of the ingredients, as this affects what the effect on weeds will be.

After all the components of the solution are mixed, they need to carefully spray all the weeds. The result will not be long in coming and will be noticeable after 24 hours. This drug works on a par with any herbicide.

An important point. You should work with this solution as carefully as possible, since any plant can die from it, that is, all your cultural plantings must be covered with a protective film during spraying.

There are many plants that are simply impossible to destroy with the help of chemicals. In this case, it is worth referring just to the use of a solution of vinegar. There are many of his recipes:

• A 40% solution of vinegar must be diluted in half with clean water and then sprayed;
• Dilute 5 cups of 6% vinegar solution in 2 liters of clean water. This amount of funds is enough for 2 acres of a suburban area. When processing grass, it is only necessary to carefully monitor that vinegar in no case gets on cultivated plants.
• Mix 3 parts 9% vinegar solution and 1 part lemon juice. Such a solution will also get rid of unwanted weeds.

Is it possible to get rid of weeds with a salt solution? The answer is yes, but this method, when the weed tornado remedy is no longer suitable, is resorted to when it is necessary to clear roadsides or paths.

It is forbidden to use it in the garden, because when salt enters the soil, the growth of cultivated plants slows down significantly. In addition, table salt contains chlorine, which also has a poisonous effect on worms, and they are necessary for fertile soil.

In order for the effect to be maximum, you can add a little citric acid to the solution of vinegar and salt. Such a concentrated solution, upon contact with the leaves, will almost instantly burn them and thereby lead to the death of the plant as a whole.

The use of folk remedies in weed control

Many gardeners get rid of weeds with baking soda. If you spill the cracks with a solution of soda (3 tablespoons per 1 liter of clean water) between the plates on the path in the garden, you can achieve the desired result in just a couple of weeks.

It is worth noting that the greater the concentration of the prepared solution, the better the effect will be.

Particularly resourceful people today are even ready to fight weeds with vodka. To prepare the solution, 400 grams of pure water, a couple of drops of the cheapest detergent and 30 ml of vodka are mixed. Next, the weeds are sprayed from the spray gun.

This method of struggle has one nuance, which is that it can be used exclusively on the sunny side.

Another assistant in weed control is kerosene. Here are just quick results from spraying, judging by the experiments carried out, they are noticeable exclusively on carrot seedlings. This is due to the toxicity of the product, which is so high that it kills almost all plants.

The worst thing is that if kerosene, for example, gets on healthy soil, then for two years you can forget about planting something on it. In addition, the fumes are so strong that they are unsafe for humans.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that with the help of only one weeding, as practice shows, it is almost impossible to get rid of weeds.

In addition to the fact that this is hard to do from a physical point of view, in fact, the work turns out to be reduced to zero in a couple of weeks. It is for this reason that it is better to adopt one of the methods described above.
