Many summer residents have their own way of fighting weeds in strawberry beds.

Some of them know how to stop new grass from growing at all.

To do this, the bushes need to be mulched. Thanks to this, you can forget about fighting weeds for the entire summer.

Lutrasil

Both purchased and improvised means are suitable for the work. For example, the covering material lutrasil copes with this task perfectly. At the same time, the beds look neat, and the wind does not blow debris around the site.

The material does not create a greenhouse effect, so the risk of mold and fungal diseases is reduced to zero.

Cardboard and straw

Budget, but no less effective options. Cardboard allows air to pass through well, but over time it gets soaked and turns into mush. Therefore, summer residents have to periodically renew the material.

Straw is one of the best budget options. The material protects against weeds, fungal diseases and weevils. Straw does not harm the soil and the beds look beautiful.
