Any person who takes good care of his plot and cares about the environment tries to choose the most "peaceful" methods of weed control.
Some methods may be effective, but may not have the best impact on the soil and the environment.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to two extremely environmentally friendly ways to combat the problem, advises landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What do they consist of?
The controversial role of digging
Many consider this procedure mandatory and carry it out quite often. However, it is worth rethinking your attitude to digging.
If you stop digging the soil, the weeds will stop sprouting so actively and frequently.
It is best to loosen only the top layer.
In this case, the germinating weeds will be very weak, so it will not be difficult to deal with them mechanically.
Special plants
Experienced gardeners often plant special plants in their flower beds that provide significant assistance in the fight against weeds: they simply do not allow them to germinate.
With the right approach, they will look good in any flower bed.
You can pay attention to creeping bent grass, microclover, red fescue and other similar flowers.
