Anyone who has a garden knows the tiresome problem: weeds. You can find out how to effectively remove and reduce weeds here. Read our tips now.
Some say that everything that grows in the garden has its place there. And that's why some people don't pull weeds.
However, if you have a well landscaped garden, then it is only too understandable not to tolerate wild weeds in the flower bed - so out with them.
But things often grow rampant and you can no longer control the situation. So that you can at least contain them a little, because they will never disappear completely, there are a few options. Here are our 4 tips to weeds to remove and to reduce:
- Deep-rooted weeds such as goutweed, buttercups or field bindweed, i.e. the plants that grow new shoots from the roots, should definitely be attacked with a weed puller and pull out the roots as well. Likewise, in the case of dandelion and thistle, the entire plants, including the roots, must be removed.
- Try to counteract the weeds with pretty ground covers. Periwinkle, golden strawberry, lily of the valley are popular… At least that's how it is reduced.
- A layer of bark mulch does no harm and effectively controls weeds.
- If you lay a weed mat in a bed before planting and then cover it with a layer of bark mulch, then you will have peace from weeds for a particularly long time.
