Ways to get rid of weeds

Traditionally, weeds are fought in two ways - mechanical, that is, weeding by hand or with a hoe, and chemical, using the achievements of science.

It is not difficult to weed one or two beds with a hoe or with your hands, but if a large area is allocated for cucumbers-tomatoes, the weeds turn into a mortal enemy.

Chemicals of the new generation are relatively safe, but they must be handled with care and carefully selected depending on the type of plants that litter the garden:

  • "Tornado" - suitable for continuous processing of the site;
  • "Agrokiller" - has an excellent effect on hogweed, wheatgrass, horsetail, bushes;
  • "Roundup" - used to clean the entire area or pointwise, by injecting the solution into the shoots;
  • Hurricane is a systemic herbicide that can be used all season;
  • "Glyphos" - selectively affects the metabolism of weeds, without affecting cultural plantings.

Herbicides

Remember! Treatment of the site with any chemical herbicides is carried out following the instructions of the instructions.

A separate group of drugs - "Trisben-200", "Reglong", sodium trichloroacetate, etc. - is intended for introduction into the soil in spring, before planting garden crops. Substances completely destroy seeds in the ground that are still dormant or have begun to germinate.

However, herbicides came into our lives later than the actual gardens, and the fight against unnecessary vegetation is eternal. This means that there are other ways to get rid of it - folk, based on the use of simple available means, from which the environment does not suffer.

Baking soda

Folk remedies for weed control

Effective remedies to keep the grass from growing are made from ingredients available in every home.

  • Watering with boiling water is carried out during the preparation and complete digging of the beds. The method is used to remove grass between laid tiles on paths in the yard. However, its effect is short-lived.
  • Limited use of a salt solution from a third of the pack and a bucket of water. They water the ground in the yard, on areas covered with gravel, since cultivated plants will not grow on saline soil. Similarly, they use "Whiteness" - a popular home bleach.
  • Table vinegar - 400 ml, water - 400 ml, liquid detergent - 10 ml, alcohol - 30 ml are mixed, only weeds are treated with a solution, since it is devoid of selectivity.
  • A very strong solution of baking soda is poured under the root of the weeds. It also refers to means of point application, since the root system of any plant reacts in the same way - it burns out.
  • The processing of petroleum products for several years eliminates the growth of grass in the treated area, but cultivated plants in these places are planted no earlier than in a year.

Even with quality chemical herbicides, you shouldn't expect your grass growth problem to be solved once and for all. As rain and melt water wash away, the effect of the chemicals will weaken. The wind regularly brings new seeds of unwanted weeds. Means for cultivating the soil so that nothing grows on it for many years, from weeds, of course, has not yet been invented, and it is unlikely that it will ever be invented.
