The best way to fight weeds is to prevent them. Not only does it save time and money, it also saves days of sweating out in the yard or garden trying to
hack weeds out and ending up spreading seeds around even more. Use the following practices to avoid wasting your time doing work that could have been avoided.
5.Spacing Between Plants
One great way to minimize the amount of weeds that will grow in your garden or flower beds is to space your plants at a proper distance that they will shade the ground between them. By preventing the sunlight from reaching the soil between the plants it reduces the opportunities for weeds to take hold as they need sunlight to grow properly. To use this tip, know what kind of plants do well in your area, how big they typically get, and proper spacing to keep the plants healthy and happy.
6.Watch Where You Water
To reduce the amount of weeds that you see in your lawn and garden it is best to only feed and water plants that you actually want to grow. To avoid watering extra plants and weeds, try using drip hoses around your plants. You can combine this technique and mulching for a double prevention plan against plant invaders. Put the mulch over the drip hoses to hide them and keep your flower beds and gardens looking sharp and well groomed. Doing this will help keep your plants happy and their soil moist while avoiding helping other plants to grow.
7.Chemical Treatments
If you have an invasive problem and weeds seem to be taking over, it may be wise to look into chemical treatments. There are many options for weed control and prevention in the chemical world but it is best to look for chemicals that will target your specific weed problems. To help keep runoff and the spread of unnecessary chemicals to a minimum, look for organic options that are environmental and pet friendly. To help decide what types of chemical treatments are right for your lawn and garden talk to a local lawn care specialist.
