In the fight against hogweed, two things are important: remain careful and cautious and do not reinvent the wheel.
This weed not only takes over the area, but is also a real source of health hazard, so summer residents try to get rid of it at the earliest stages.
Hogweed can take over the entire garden in a short period of time. Then it is much more difficult to get rid of it. It is often difficult to do without chemicals and the help of professionals.
When the situation gets serious, summer residents look for folk remedies: they sprinkle salt, cover with black film. But experts do not recommend wasting time on this.
There is only one effective way. It will help to quickly get rid of hogweed without chemicals, unnecessary waste of money and time, without health risks, if you are careful.
There is only one way out - take a shovel in your hands. Although the hogweed has a taproot, it is not very deep. Therefore, you can dig it up and be very sure that it will not grow back.
However, before work it is important to protect your hands, eyes, and face. It is better to dig up hogweed in the spring. It is more dangerous to do this in the summer because of the juice.
