Things That Would Influence What To Use To Kill Weeds In The Farms

By Janine Hughes


Many new gardeners wonder on the best methods to kill herbs in their gardens. The weeds should never be bothering because there is plenty of what to use to kill weeds that attacks the gardens.

One of the cheapest and the much best method to remove the stubborn plants is through removing and pulling the plants of by hand. However, it takes a lot of time to remove the plants one by one but it is safe because harmful chemicals that would find their way up the food chain are not used. The plants are also removed from the roots; therefore, there is no likelihood that they would sprout again immediately after weeding. Using this method one can remove them just as they start growing; therefore, one does not have to wait for the herbs to mature.

The pulling off by hand of unwanted plants will only be efficient if the farm area is relatively small if you are to do it personally. But one can also employ people that would assist in the weeding. But if you still do not want to use chemicals there is the options of boiling water and pouring on the weeds. They will die and the seeds too.

One disadvantage is that you must be extra vigilant so as not to burn both your crops and unwanted plants because they would all die. Soapy water is also a good plant killer, it is effective during hot and dry seasons and always use spray bottles when spraying. Another exquisite method is by the spraying alcohol and concentrated vinegar to the herbs. As earlier stated, always do it carefully not to kill the other crops.

The cornmeal gluten is an herbicide that kills unwanted plants before they sprout out of the soil. It can fix Nitrogen to the farmland and works efficiently. It also does not destroy the grass. It is one of the effective ways that people who do not worry about chemical means of killing weeds. Others include Ortho Weed-B-Gon and Roundup herbicides. They work well in killing both mature herbs and those sprouting, and it takes a long time before they reappear again.

It is however important to note that killing these unwanted plants in the yard is very fine. But always ensure that the specific directions are followed. Always keep these herbicides away from the reach of pets and children.

There are other ways of killing these stubborn plants such as mulching. The whole essence is to prevent sunlight from reaching them, and therefore they die a natural death. You can always use home available tools such as grass, old newspapers, old curtains, and carpets for mulching. Ensure you spread them well on the footpaths of the farm, and you will be set to go. It is one of the most effective ways of keeping these plants away from the gardens without spending so much.

In conclusion, the ways, you will opt for in weeding; depend on factors that such as your farm size and the type of weed growing on the farm.
