There are several ways to control weed expansion.

The most effective ones were described by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Herbicides

If you choose this method, choose only high-quality products, use them on time and follow safety precautions.

Black non-woven covering material

In addition to the fact that such material does not allow weeds to grow, it also retains moisture and does not allow fungal spores to spread. The thicker the material, the longer it will serve you.

Mulching

In addition to non-woven material, which is also a kind of mulch, you can also use organic mulching materials - mown grass, manure humus, sawdust, etc.

Flat cutter

The advantage of a flat cutter in weed control is that it is convenient and quick to work with.

Green manure

Some green manure plants secrete special substances that suppress the growth of plants - both weeds and crops, so it is recommended to plant something "secondary" on a plot sown with green manure.
