Home Living Garden Guide to Dealing With Those Pesky Weeds
This might seem hard to believe, but to some folk weeds are seen as being quite captivating to their garden. Weeds such dandelions, daisies and buttercups can look very humble and innocent. Don’t be fooled! Without a moments notice these weeds can take over your entire garden, smothering your the plants that you want to be growing in your outdoor living space.
Time to take control and kick mom nature’s ass!
Before I go any further, I must point out that I am not recommending using any chemicals or toxic weed killers. We just want to kill the weeds in our garden, not killing our environment, that would be kicking mom nature’s ass a bit too hard.
Weeds can be controlled both before and after they emerge from the ground. The most effective way of dealing with weeds that have emerged is using a bit of old fashioned elbow grease. Get down your knees and with a long handle tool with sharp prongs, grip the weeds and yank them right out from the ground, making sure you’ve taken out the root of your victim or else they will grow back. I know it will involve quite a lot of effort on your part and allowed it might be not the best way to spend your weekends or days off, but this kind of manual have is far more effective than spraying some weed killer down and waiting to see if takes effect. Believe me you’ll thank yourself later.
One last tip, keep your lawn fertilised as without the proper nutrients in the soil your grass won’t grow as it should and instead sprout huge unsightly deep rooted weeds…not good.
Once all this done, go out to your garden, sit back, rest and admire the work you’ve done. Well done!
