People come up with all sorts of things to combat weeds: they water the beds with vinegar and salt solution, and choke the grass with saltpeter.
Science does not stand still either. Preparations have been invented against weeds – herbicides – and their spectrum is expanding every year. But in both cases, this all has a negative effect on the soil: it suffers and becomes clogged.
How to Get Rid of Weeds
You can fight weeds in your garden beautifully – with the help of plants. Among the weeds, couch grass causes a lot of trouble for gardeners.
The fight against weeds can drag on for many years if certain measures are not taken in a timely manner.
Some plants can cope with dangerous weeds if they are sown on your plot. These are rapeseed, clover and alfalfa.
Such green manures help loosen the soil, repel pests and inhibit the growth of weeds.
Clover, forming a dense turf on the site, does not allow weeds to grow. The other two green manures grow quickly and do not allow weeds to conquer the territory.
By the way, green manure improves the soil, after which crops get sick less often and delight with a bountiful harvest.
