Any gardener tries to rid his plot of weeds by any means necessary, as they cause significant harm to the overall yield indicators.
However, the use of radical methods (vinegar, herbicides, salt) can completely deprive the soil of fertility.
Therefore, it is worth knowing about harmless but effective methods.
What do they consist of?
Don't forget about green manure
Many plants in this category do not allow weeds to develop, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.
In addition, the soil will become much more fertile. Such green manures include phacelia, buckwheat, oats, mustard, barley and beans.
Mulch
After you have thoroughly weeded the area, you need to prevent the appearance of weeds. For this, many experienced gardeners use mulch.
The main task is to cover not only the plants, but also the paths and the space between the rows.
The dangers of fresh manure
Using this fertilizer in its fresh form can be dangerous, as it may contain weed seeds.
Therefore, manure must always be properly prepared.
