Every gardener knows the frustration of those weeds that just keep coming back. Here are a few ways that will help to get rid of them without using harsh chemeicals.
- Salt – Mix three parts salt with one part water and pour it on your weeds. Be careful not to pour it any other plants, though.
- Newspaper – Cover the weeds with old newspaper while leaving your plants exposed. Water the area well, then cover with a few inches of mulch.
- Vinegar – Fill an old spray bottle with normal household vinegar. Squirt it on weeds.
- Fire – Wet the surrounding soil and then use a weed burner.
- Mulch – Spread 3 inches of bark mulch over your beds, blocking sunlight from reaching any weeds.
- Bleach – Just pour it straight on the weeds, but be careful of surrounding plants.
- Walnut sawdust – This contains juglone, which is toxic to plants. Just sprinkle it on areas you want to rid of weeds.
