Of course, each summer resident has his own ways of dealing with weeds on the site. In our article, we will try to tell you how to get rid of weeds on your site. And if not forever, then for quite a long time.
Habitual Weed Control
Each of us is familiar with the procedure for weeding a vegetable garden or garden plot. In order to get rid of weeds, summer residents need to pick up hoes and shovels. And sometimes just pick up your hands. And you need to start working on the site. The beds are recommended to be weeded twice. First, process the aisles with a hoe or mechanized tillage. And then manually remove the litter directly on the beds of cultivated plants. Pay attention to what exactly you water and how you do it.
So, creeping wheatgrass must be removed from the root. Since this plant grows very quickly even from the smallest root. Whereas the squid can simply be cut down, and if a small part of the root remains in the ground, then this weed is not always accepted. Woodlice, in addition to being removed by the root, must be collected in heaps and then removed from the site. This is necessary so that you can clearly see the places where wood lice are still left. Since in a felled state it is very difficult to distinguish between still growing plants and already pulled ones. It is difficult to remove sow thistles from the plot, since in addition to the deep-lying root, it is also very prickly, so if you simply cut it down, it will grow back, and if you pull it out with your hands, be sure to chop your fingers. Therefore, you need to go out with gloves and a shovel in the fight against sow thistle.
Remember that if seeds have already formed on the weeds, then they must be removed from the site and burned. Otherwise, dozens of new ones can grow from one weed plant.
Unusual methods of dealing with litter
If you need to master the virgin soil, arrange a flower garden, then in order to get rid of weeds almost once and for all, you need to do the following. First, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the plot of debris, then dig a small rectangular hole around the perimeter, according to the size of your flower garden or future fruit garden. Then, to a depth of 30 centimeters, you need to put a strip of iron and cover it with plastic wrap. After such soil treatment, compost, straw or dried grass should be scattered on top of the film, thick cardboard can be laid. Then the structure should be covered with earth. After that, you can safely mark holes and plant a wide variety of crops, from potatoes to pumpkins. The fact is that the plastic film does not decompose for decades. Therefore, weeds will not be able to grow from the depths of the soil, which means that your site will also be clean and tidy.
The most important thing is to cultivate the land from above or simply pour purchased soil, which will definitely be without weed seeds. You can plant certain crops without covering the weeds with cardboard. To do this, it is necessary to lay Agromaterial on top of the soil or cover it with paper, and lay a layer of straw on top. After that, the weeds will also not spread on your site. However, these methods of weed control have some limitations. Firstly, they are not suitable for plants with a well-developed root system. Since they will definitely break through the plastic wrap.It is also not very convenient to use on large areas.
And finally, this is a rather laborious process. You will need to properly lay the material, pre-treat the soil, and periodically monitor the moisture content of the soil. However, in comparison with what summer residents experience in their plots, fighting weeds, this is a fairly rational use of their time and energy. Try to experiment and, perhaps, you will like these methods.
