Weeds want to grow and thrive. In fact, if they were growing on their own time and in their own yard, there would be no problem. Most of us, however want them absent from our own gardens. One of the best ways to start the weed eradication process is to start the weed identification process.
Pause for Weed Identification
Two perennial weeds to be aware of are the Centella and the Cinquefoil. The Centella weed is often found in sandy soil. It grows and spreads quickly. The Cinquefoil is a weed that can be found even when soil is infertile. Like many other weeds, it is also known to spread quickly.
Other perennial weeds of which to be aware is the Sheep Sorrel and the Beggarweed. Beggarweed spreads quickly to other areas. It look like clover. But there is a big difference between the two. The Beggarwood is far more difficult to control! It truly does ‘grow like a weed.’ The Sheep Sorrel is another weed to keep in mind. The root system of the Sheep Sorrel is very strong and resilient. It can take over an area very quickly – devastating the grasses and plant life in its path. It is another weed that is not at all easy to eliminate.
When you are dealing with aggressive weeds, you can still be successful. One key to keeping your garden weed free is to be keenly observant of your own garden. Take note of the plant life that does not belong, and eliminate it before it can spread throughout your home garden and lawn.
If you are pulling up weeds by hand, you can be very effective. Try to remember to dig out the weeds by their root. After all, you don’t want the weeds to just keep growing back, do you? By pulling the weeds up by the root, you can bring your garden another step loser to being weed free.
