Every year, summer residents face the same problem: the widespread growth of weeds.
Grass grows not only in the beds, but also in the garden paths, creating problems when walking.
However, it is not difficult to solve this problem if you use simple methods that will help you preserve the beauty of your country house.
Film and covering fabrics
One of the methods that can be used in the area without harming plants is polyethylene film or special fabric.
They can prevent sunlight and water from reaching the weeds, which will cause them to stop growing and dry out.
The materials are useful, but over time they will require replacement due to their short lifespan.
Crushed stone, gravel, stone chips
These materials will help to cope with the growth of grass and will give the area a more well-groomed and attractive appearance.
However, they can make walking on paths difficult by making them slippery.
Mulching paths
Another method of weed control that gardeners consider safe.
Natural material is laid on the soil surface to retain moisture and protect plants from pests and weed growth.
Tree bark, sawdust, straw, leaves – all these materials can be used to cover (mulch) garden paths.
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, but is capable of containing the growth of weeds on the site without harming the health of people and animals.
