Goutweed is a fairly common weed, as it has the ability to reproduce quickly, taking over more and more territory.
However, this plant can also be controlled.
Agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", chooses three effective methods.
What do they consist of?
Wood ash
An interesting fact is that ordinary wood ash can help in the fight against goutweed. We are accustomed to the fact that ash is the most common fertilizer among summer residents who choose natural compositions.
However, for goutweed, using the substance will be destructive.
Green manure
Some plants in this category show a high degree of effectiveness in combating goutweed. The best options are phacelia and oats.
You can also pay attention to millet and barley.
Mulch
You can again combine business with pleasure. If you start using mulch, you will not only kill goutweed, but also significantly improve the quality of the soil on the site.
