Clearing your garden plot of couch grass is not that difficult.
We will tell you about three effective ways to combat this weed.
How to get rid of couch grass
First, you can resort to mulching. Dense materials should be used as mulch.
For example, black film, linoleum, roofing felt, old carpets, cardboard. Loose mulch (sawdust, wood chips) will not work.
After a month, remove the mulch and remove the weakened couch grass with roots.
The second effective way to combat couch grass is to sow green manure crops after harvesting.
For example, you can plant mustard, winter rye, rapeseed, alfalfa.
Thirdly, herbicides are an effective remedy against couch grass and other weeds.
You can use, for example, Tornado, Glyphos, Agrokiller, Roundup.
All of them are based on glyphosate, a broad-spectrum herbicide.
It will destroy not only couch grass, but also sow thistle, hogweed, bindweed, wild oats, etc.
Annual plants die 3-4 days after treatment, perennial plants – 7-10 days.
