Natural Weed Killer
Weeds in your lawn and garden can seriously interfere
with anyone’s vision of a lush lawn and bountiful garden. Dealing with
them can be a pain in the you-know-what because they keep coming back
like those un-invited guests who keep showing up at your front door.
Sometimes it takes brute force to get rid of them and even then they
seem to sneak back into your yard.
It can be a very frustrating experiencing trying to control weeds on
your property. And the hassle of using dangerous chemicals that might
have detrimental effects on your other plants not to mention your family
and pets is enough to make most people just give up. Fortunately there
are ways to naturally control lawn and garden weeds.
The most common method is to cut them down using a weed eater or some
other form of cutting implement. Unfortunately this doesn’t kill the
weeds so it’s not necessarily a natural weed killer. But it is a good
way to start gaining control of large areas of unwanted weeds.
Once you have mowed down that field of weeds with a weed eater it is the
perfect time to hit the mangled stems with a natural weed killer made
from common household products such as a mixture of vinegar, salt, and
water. You can find a recipe using these products on our home page here;

natural lawn and garden care products.
The last form of natural weed control is by simply pulling them. For
this to work you do need to pull entire weed including the roots to
eradicate the problem. For deep rooted weeds a weed pulling tool can be
helpful. It’s basically a long screwdriver with a forked spade at the
end.
To use it simply slide the shaft down into the dirt along the edge of
the root. This helps loosen the soil around the root and allows you to
pull the weed. Pulling weeds is a technique best used in small areas
with few weeds. It can be rather time consuming if you try and do large
areas, but it is effective.
Using these natural weed killing techniques is a great way to increase
the curb appeal of your home not to mention the peace of mind you gain
knowing your family and pets are no longer being exposed to dangerous
chemicals. |
