Bindweed, along with couch grass, quinoa, woodlice and a number of other weeds, is the most annoying to summer residents.
The pretty plant grows quickly, taking moisture and nutrients from the soil, causing other crops to become weaker.
In addition, bindweed entwines the stems of plantings, which is also not beneficial to either the plant or the harvest.
Some gardeners solve the problem in a traditional way - by weeding. But there is a simpler and more effective option. The secret lies in deoxidizing the soil.
Bindweed loves acidic soil. If you push the indicator to the neutral side, the plant will become uncomfortable. Bindweed will stop capturing new territories, and soon it will disappear altogether.
Chalk or dolomite flour will cope with the task best. The latter can be applied in the spring. 400 g is used per 1 square meter of the plot.
In addition to chalk and dolomite flour, ash helps fight bindweed. But 1 kg is needed for 1 "square". However, ash is also an excellent fertilizer that contains calcium and magnesium.
