Not all garden herbs are fun. It is no secret that many gardeners and gardeners spend a huge part of their time fighting weeds. And as soon as you weed your area for the first time, it is immediately filled with new weeds that grow like mushrooms after rain. These are constantly knocked down knees, splinters, dirty hands and a bent back. However, you need to know your enemies by sight. In this article: The main types of weeds and methods to control them.

Sow thistle

This is one of the most harmful herbs in your area. The fact is that the sow thistle has a very stable root. Therefore, if you remove only the upper part of the plant, then literally in a few days the sow thistle will grow back.

In addition, it has a very thorny stem and leaves. And he very quickly scatters his seeds over the garden plot. To fight this pest, you need to stock up on time and energy. Since the sow thistle root penetrates into very deep layers of the earth. You only need to pull it out completely.

If you do not succeed the first time, then you can simply dig out the root. Or cut off the plant with a hoe or scythe, then over time this weed will dry out. Do not wait for the seeds to ripen. Because they scatter very quickly around the garden. And then you will have to get rid of not one plant, but a whole group.

To prevent the appearance of this pest on your site, you can constantly mulch the soil. Then he will have nothing to gain a foothold on. If you want to destroy this weed with the help of herbicides, then do not forget that this chemical solution should not get on beneficial crops.

Weed types: runny

A very interesting name and very tenacious roots. This huge plant is spreading through your area at an unprecedented rate. Like the sow thistle, the dream has very tenacious roots. Therefore, if you do not remove absolutely everything, then this weed will definitely grow again.

It should also be mentioned that the dream has its decorative twin. Many gardeners grow it in their plots as a flowering plant. But this does not prevent it from spreading everywhere as well. Therefore, limit its habitat and restrain its growth in the area where it should be.

Avoid blooming dreaminess in your area. Since when the seeds ripen, they easily spread throughout the surrounding space. And subsequently, dozens of new weeds grow from one inflorescence. You can also mulch the soil to get rid of slush in your area. You can get rid of this pest using chemical treatment.

Woodworm

If this plant appears on your site, it means that the acidity of the soil has increased. Woodlice is very fond of moist areas and, of course, shade. You will not be able to cope with woodlice for several days. The site will have to be processed all season. The fact is that woodlice also have very tenacious roots. Whole fields of weeds grow from one small shoot.

Woodlice blooms several times during the summer. The new shoot penetrates deeper into the soil than the previous one. Of course, you can fight woodlice with choppers, a scythe, or a shovel. But the most effective way to get rid of this weed is only by hand weeding. It is advisable to collect all the weeds given out so that the soil remains bare.

This will allow you, firstly, to track the emergence of new weeds. And secondly, this event will help to thoroughly dry the soil. And then wood lice will not grow so abundantly there. Pesticides can also be used to combat woodlice, which you can buy at any chemical store.

Weed species: wheatgrass

Creeping wheatgrass, unlike woodlice, is very resistant to drought. So it penetrates into the soil to a depth of one meter. It should also be noted that seeds from one plant are capable of producing 1000 new weeds. And the period of their growth is only 2 weeks.

In order to get rid of this weed, you need to dig up the ground with a pitchfork several times. And very deeply. And carefully remove each root from the soil. After digging up the soil, any weeds collected must be burned off your site.

If wheatgrass has completely displaced all your vegetables on the site, then it can be squeezed out with clover or mulching with black film. Herbicides can also cope with creeping wheatgrass. Fight weeds right!
