Rid Your Home Garden of Weeds, Part 3



So do you control the weeds in your garden or on your lawn, or are they controlling you? Weeds tend to grow in just the wrong spot. They can deprive the plants you’ve purchased and nourished from getting proper sunlight and nutrients. Weeds may not only compromise the health of the plants in your garden, but they can also make a garden very unsightly and unkept. Don’t let weeds control your lawn and garden. Rid your home garden of their unwanted presence and keep them under control. You can keep weeds from reining over your garden and lawn by simply pulling them up and/or applying natural or chemically-based herbicide.

Apply Herbicide Carefully
If you have had enough of weeds moving into your garden, then perhaps you may decide to go with an herbicide. Herbicides can be a very helpful aid in getting rid of weeds. Remember, however, that weeds are simply plants growing in the wrong place at the wrong time. Should you decide to eliminate weeds be sure to apply your herbicide far away from your flowers and growing veggies. Herbicide can be safely sprayed near structures, like fences.

Smother Them to Death
You can also get rid of weeds by smothering them. Simply delegate your mulch to do the job. The mulch needs to be laid over the weeds in your garden. This will keep new weeds from growing. It will also make it easier for you to gather up the dead weeds.

There is No Shame in Using Your Natural Tools
What are some natural tools you can use to get rid of weeds? Your hands! It is never too late to pull those weeds and show them who’s boss. To keep your garden well maintained, try to have a regular schedule planned. By regularly checking for any signs of weeds, you’ll be better equipped to do what is necessary to keep your garden under control.
