Weeds in the garden are not always an absolute evil.
If horsetail appears on the plot, it means that the soil has become acidic, woodlice, couch grass and sow thistle will indicate that the soil needs rest, it is tired and becomes unsuitable for farming. There is little humus in the soil if weeds begin to appear only at the end of summer.
Some have learned to use weeds correctly: as natural shade for beans. In hot weather, peppers and eggplants feel great under the canopy of accompanying plants.
What to do with weeds in the garden
To significantly reduce the number of annual weeds, you need to do two simple things: stop plowing every year, don’t let the weeds bloom, and throw out new seeds.
Perennial weeds successfully reproduce by seeds and roots. Many try to throw them away, but even here not everything is so clear.
Thus, young dandelion leaves are added to salads, and flowers are poured with honey to get a natural remedy for colds. Nettles make tasty and healthy borscht, salads and sauces, and plant tincture.
Lifehack from weeds
Do not pull out dandelions - it is useless, they will sprout. Cut with a flat cutter below the growth point. After this approach, the nutrition will be disrupted and the plant will die.
Couch grass and bindweed reproduce by small parts of roots, so digging is only beneficial for them.
Mulching helps in the fight against weeds.
