Throughout the summer, gardeners fight to keep their gardens free of weeds, and one of their main enemies is woodlice or chickweed.
Despite the fact that the plant, according to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is an annual, this does not prevent it from filling the entire garden under certain conditions.
Perhaps the most common method that helps to combat weeds is weeding.
However, this process is, firstly, long, and secondly, tedious, so it is worth paying attention to other methods.
1. Since woodlice prefer acidic soils, you can try to evict them by reducing the acidity of the soil.
To do this, it is necessary to lime the beds.
2. If woodlice grow not in the garden, but on paths and in other places far from the habitats of cultivated plants, you can use folk remedies such as salt, soda and vinegar.
3. You can also use purchased compounds - the most effective ones have proven to be "Roundup", "Tornado", "Hurricane Forte" and others.
4. Some gardeners advise sprinkling ash on the places where woodlice grow – this should be done once a week.
