How to fight weeds

Here are some tips that will help you eradicate the weeds that may grow in your garden, orchard or patio:

• Manual weeding. In the event that you decide to pull out the weeds manually, before proceeding to do so, do not forget to put on garden gloves with which to protect your hands well. Also bear in mind that it is not enough to cut them by the stem, but they must be removed by the roots, holding them firmly to ensure that they do not break. As an additional advice, say that it is advisable to tear them off after having rained or watered abundantly, since the earth will be softer and you can work with less complications.

1. • Garden fabric. If you want to prevent the appearance of weeds , nothing better than deploying a weed-proof mesh and then covering it with a good layer of sand or mulch .

• Mulch with mulch. Mulch is, without a doubt, one of the best defenses in this particular field, since it allows the soil to remain moist and at the same time evades the rays of sunlight that weeds need for their photosynthesis. It is convenient to keep the mulch about 3 or 4 cm. deep, and always away from the grass , since if it covers it it will also spoil it.

• Length of the lawn. The ideal measure to keep the grass strong and in good condition is 5 to 8 cm. High. This will make it more resistant to invasive species.

• Water and salt. A radical solution to combat weeds is to pour boiling water over them: the result is usually immediate, and if you also add some salt, even more effective. Now, keep in mind that this measure is especially useful for weeds that grow between tiles within patios, decks or other hard surfaces. Don't even think about adding salt to a growing area, as it will leave the soil sterile for quite some time.

• Avoid seed dispersal. One of the most important tips we can give you is not to allow weeds to release their seeds. Keep in mind that these tend to germinate especially quickly and, therefore, usually cover large areas of land in a short time. Therefore, as soon as you observe seed pods forming in an herb, remove it instantly. In this sense, it is very important to pass the lawnmower before the weeds can shed their seeds.

With regard to the maintenance of your orchard or garden , a fundamental aspect to always keep in mind is to have the tools that are most convenient for this task, such as pruning shears , hedge trimmers or a kit of protective gloves . Only then will you ensure that the work you have to carry out is done correctly.
