Weeds are a real headache for gardeners.
They compete with crop plants for water, light and nutrients.
Weeds can also become a habitat for pests.
Couch grass
One of the most common weeds is couch grass.
It improves the structure of the soil, but it is not useful for the garden, as it takes away all the nutrients and shades the cultivated plants.
It is difficult to fight it because of its rapid growth.
Mulching with dense material helps limit its growth.
Hogweed
Another dangerous weed is hogweed.
This poisonous plant grows quickly and can overgrow large areas.
It only needs to be fought by total mowing and root removal to prevent its reproduction.
Weeds
Weeds are divided into annual and perennial.
Annuals such as chickweed can be temporarily controlled by pulling them out.
Perennials, which include sow thistle and nettle, require top pruning. This is the only way to disrupt the nutrition of the roots.
You can defeat weeds using these methods that are available to everyone.
