There is a problem that is common to any type of garden, they are weeds. Here’s how to eliminate them quickly and slow down their regrowth.

Anyone who owns a house with a beautiful garden will surely have to deal very often with the problem of weeds.
More commonly known as “weeds”, these spontaneous plants, although natural and sometimes even cute, are synonymous with disorder and neglect and can make even the most well-kept of gardens seem sloppy and messy.
No matter how much you try to eradicate them, by hand or with the use of the most varied chemical products, they are always ready to return. So how can you eliminate them in the shortest time possible and try to delay their reappearance?

Weeds, Every Gardener’s Nightmare

As much as we insist on not wanting them in our gardens or on our paths, weeds are always ready to come back . Undoubtedly it is their natural right, that of being born and growing spontaneously, but it is equally right to want to have your own space clean and tidy. And if taken individually they can also be beautiful plants, in a nice tidy lawn or in a path they can be terrible to look at.

And so we find ourselves at least once a month, if not more often, uprooting those little plants that grow with incredible speed , almost as if they all sprouted at once in the middle of the night.

Although even the best commercial weed killers promise miracles, sometimes they are only temporary remedies . So if we can avoid using chemicals to get a similar result, let’s see what is advisable to use among the most natural remedies.

How to Eliminate Weeds Naturally

To remove weeds from walls, gardens or outdoor paving, there is a particular technique used by gardeners called mulching . A simple and natural process, which very often, following the course of events, occurs autonomously in nature.

Replicating it is very simple, just make a mix of compost, grass clippings, leaves or bark and place it as a cover on the ground. This will act as a real shield, preventing sunlight from penetrating and allowing the ground to remain moist, preventing the growth of weeds in the point where it has been distributed.

A method that is specific to patios and between tiles, but highly discouraged for lawns, involves the use of boiling water . All you have to do is boil some water in a pot or kettle and pour it directly on the weeds.

Be very careful , because in addition to the risk of burning yourself, the water will burn any type of grass it encounters . Therefore, avoid using it near other plants or their roots, as you risk ruining them.

One lawn tip is to tend to your garden as often as possible .
Mowing or mowing your lawn often will help prevent weeds from multiplying, as it will prevent them from reproducing. And remember to save some of your grass clippings, rather than throwing them away, to make a compost mix to use as a shield for weeds to grow back.
