National Weed Your Garden Day

There are several methods for getting rid of weeds in a garden: 1. Hand-pulling: This is the simplest and most effective method for removing small weed populations. Simply pull the weeds out by hand, being careful to remove the entire root so that they don't grow back. 2. Mulching: A thick layer of mulch around your plants can help to prevent weed growth by blocking light from reaching the soil. 3. Herbicides: There are many different types of herbicides available that can be used to kill weeds. Be sure to choose a product that is safe for use in your garden and to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. 4. Physical barriers: You can use physical barriers such as landscape fabric or plastic to prevent weed growth by blocking light from reaching the soil. 5. Boiling water: Pour boiling water directly on weeds to kill them, but be careful not to boil water on or near desirable plants, as the water can also damage or kill them. 6. Solarization: Solarization involves covering the soil with clear plastic to trap the sun's heat and kill weeds. 7. Companion planting: Companion planting involves planting desirable plants in close proximity to one another, which can help to suppress weed growth.
