Killing Garden Weeds Organically Using BHG Tips

by admin

One of the most effective ways to keep your garden free of weeds without using herbicides is to keep at least a three inch layer of organic mulch atop your soil. While this should keep out weaker sprouts, there are some pretty hardy grasses that still may poke through, and for those you want to remove the root to prevent its return especially when using basin garden stone water.

If you need to spot spray anything, use vinegar on a warm day. It is much safer than herbicides for your garden, the environment, and you. Shady areas seem to produce fewer weeds, so if you have plants that require less sunshine, you can make use of a shady area in your garden. When you plant, try not to frequently and deeply cultivate, as you will dry out the soil, and in the process you may bring weed seeds to the surface where they are much more able to germinate.

Manure and potting soils also contain many weed seeds, and should be avoided. Both can also contain harmful disease, and potting soil can also introduce insect eggs into your garden. You can produce a much richer soil using organic composting materials. Its really important that you get to stop weeds from growing in your home.
