Benefits Of Organic Weed Control

The lifespan of a weed

Weeds have varying life spans. Some only live for one season, just like annuals do, whilst others cleverly reproduce and continue to do so as long as the conditions they love exist.

Best ways to remove weeds from your garden

There are many ways to rid your garden of weeks. Let’s take a look at the most common methods.

* Pulling weeds

Manually pulling a weed is one of the most common methods used by green thumbs however it does not guarantee success particularly if the root is not entirely removed. Leaving even a small part of a root can allow it to regenerate.

* Chemical sprays

There are a huge variety of weed killers on the market however the problem is that unless you are using the right spray for the right weed you may not achieve the result you are after. Some chemical sprays can actually kill any plant or flower that is touches therefore you may damage perfectly healthy happy plants by mistake.

* Organic sprays

There are a lot of positive benefits to maintaining a garden using organic products and that includes controlling weeds. You’ll find that if you choose a natural product the resulting flowers and vegetables grow well and you will also be helping the environment by using fewer chemicals. You can also vastly improve your health by not ingesting any by products that settle on your produce and soak into your soil.

* DIY solutions

If you have the time you can save yourself some money by creating some home mixtures to use on your garden and weeds too. Household vinegar is a natural and safe alternative to chemicals and can be sprayed directly onto weeds for good results.

Weeds are a natural part of gardening and can continue to pop up no matter how hard you try to resolve the issue but with continual effort you can make significant inroads into removing them.

It is important to realize that left unattended to, weeds can take over a garden bed and deprive your wanted plants from the nutrients and water that they need.

Opt for organic solutions, attend to them as soon as you see them and you’ll be helping to make your garden a happier place for everyone and everything.
