No homeowner wants to deal with weeds—they attract pests, are hard to kill, and take away from the beauty of your landscaping. If you’re at your wit’s end with weeds, you’ve come to the right place. Complete Landscaping has assembled our top tips for dealing with too many weeds.
Get the Roots
If you keep pulling weeds, but they keep coming back, you may be leaving the roots behind. If you do not fully pull the weed out by the root, it will only re-grow. Of course, this process can be tedious if you have a lot of weeds in your yard. One way to handle this is to invest in a weed pulling tool, which makes it fast and easy to remove weeds at the root.
Use Natural Methods
Did you know that you can use eco-friendly products like vinegar or baking soda to kill weeds? It’s true! For baking soda, simply lightly spray unwanted plants with water to provide a surface for the baking soda to adhere to. Then, measure out a teaspoon of baking soda and lightly sprinkle it over the area. With vinegar, simply pour some into a spray bottle and apply it on the surface of the plants.
Respond Fast
Weeds can quickly get out of control if you’re not vigilant. Conduct routine sweeps of your yard and remove any weeds as soon as you see them. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more you keep an eye out for weeds, the easier it will be to catch infestations before they spread.
