Weeds on the plot are a problem that summer residents struggle with throughout their lives.

However, there are also quite effective methods that allow you to get rid of weeds. Therefore, it is worth figuring out what is best to lay on the ground to achieve an excellent effect.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to fight weeds.

Mulching

Mulching is one of the most common and effective methods of weed control.

By covering the soil with a layer of mulch, gardeners create a barrier that prevents weeds from growing.

In addition, mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, which promotes healthy plant growth and makes it even more difficult for weeds to grow.

Lawns

Planting lawn grasses or dense plants is another effective way to suppress weeds.

Lawns and dense plantings create a dense vegetation cover that deprives weeds of light and space to grow.

Additionally, dense plants compete for water and nutrients, which also makes it difficult for weeds to grow.

Of course, if you are rational, lawns can only be used in the garden. And if weeds appear in the garden, this method is definitely not worth using. It is also worth remembering that lawns themselves are weeds.

Geotextile

The use of geotextiles can also be an effective way to suppress weeds.

This material allows air and water to pass through, but creates a barrier for weeds, preventing them from growing through it.

Geotextiles are especially useful when creating new plantings or organizing beds.
