Gardening Secrets - How to Get Rid of Weeds Naturally

Gardening is a rewarding hobby for many reasons--it helps cultivate mental well-being, reduces stress, and provides us with an opportunity to connect with nature. But it can also be a gruelling and time-consuming job.

To help make the process more efficient Here are some gardening tricks to try. It doesn't matter if you're trying to grow more lush grass, controlling ants or keeping plants healthy, these easy tips can be invaluable.


Don't forget the weeds

Weeds can be a problem in the garden. They can add some color and interest, however they can also take nutrients from your plants. This can result in weaker plants and less vibrant landscapes, so they should be dealt with regularly. There are a variety of natural alternatives to chemicals that may cause harm to the earth. This will allow you more time to enjoy your garden.

One of the best ways to fight the weeds is to plant thickly. This allows your vegetables and other plants to grow big enough to shade out weeds, and keep them out for a much longer period of time. Mulch is another great way to cut down on the amount of weeds. By adding a layer of organic material like leaves, hay or cardboard and newspapers You can reduce the number of weed seeds that are capable of germinating.

Avoid disturbing soil in your garden. This will expose the dormant seedlings and bring them to the surface where they are more easily removed. Instead of re-turning the soil, use a hoe to gently "tickle" the surface. This won't affect the soil's structure and will keep all the beneficial microbes, fungi and insects in their place where they belong.

Keeping garden bed of your lawn and garden mowed can also help keep weeds out of the area. garden bed is particularly beneficial when you are starting an upcoming garden or unruly and weedy area because it gives the weeds fewer chances to sprout up into the rich, fertile soil of your garden!

If weeds do start appearing make sure you take care to get rid of them as early as possible. This will prevent them from growing into full-grown plants that could rival your crops for water, nutrients and sunlight. If raised garden wait until they're bigger they'll be more difficult to pull out and could eventually choke out your crop.

Another suggestion is to boil water to kill weeds at the root, making it much more difficult to grow them again. This is a great option for small patches of undesirable grass or if you do not have the time to manually remove them.

Add Organic Matter

Organic matter in soil, made up of decomposing animal and plant material, enhances the structure, aeration, water-holding capacity and the root penetration of garden soil. It also feeds the numerous microorganisms which make up an ecosystem in healthy soil.

A lack of organic matter in garden soil can cause it to clump, forming clay-like clods which hinder the flow of nutrients and water. Adding organic matter binds soil particles into porous granules or crumbs which allow water and air to move through the soil. Organic matter is able absorb and store nutrients, and also retain moisture (humus can hold up to 90 percent of its weight liquid). It also serves as a habitat for good organisms which decompose plants, weeds, and other harmful organisms.

The addition of organic material can benefit all kinds of soils for gardens, but it is especially important for sandy and clay soils. Organic material can improve the capacity of sandy soils to store and release water and nutrients, and it can loosen and aerate heavy clay soils.

The most beneficial organic matter comes from plants and animals which are primarily carbon-based. Coffee grounds, banana peels, and grass clippings are all suitable for use. You can add these to your compost pile, where they'll add organic material and feed earthworms, which in turn will improve the aeration and fertility of your garden soil. You can also buy bagged amendments such as peat moss or composted manure. Fines of pine bark are another alternative.

Before planting every season, add organic matter to your soil. If you are using raw, unfinished organic material such as raw manure or rotted leaves, apply it to the soil for a month before planting to allow it time to break down and be accessible to plants when they need it. Work in 1 to 2 inches of material if the soil is very sandy or heavy clay and a bit less if it's fertile and loamy.

Relax and Enjoy Yourself

A garden is a place where you can explore beauty and adventure and beauty, not just for purpose of eating food. There is nothing more satisfying than the satisfaction of establishing something from seed and watching it blossom or preparing an amazing meal right out of your own backyard. You'll be able to cultivate an area of your garden that will last for generations if you value variety and curiosity.
