Some say that one person’s weed is another person’s flower, but that doesn’t mean we want our flower or vegetable garden to be overrun with them, especially since weeds take nutrients from the soil, leaving the other plants to starve. If left unchecked, one or two weeds eventually take over the entire space, crowding out the plants you love. Hence the phrase, you’re growing like a weed. They also have a habit of growing on the sidewalk, patio, and driveway, and these are sure signs that it’s time to start controlling weeds.
It’s convenient to head to your local hardware store and pick up a bottle of weed killer, but many commercial products contain chemicals that are bad for the environment and may even kill the plants in your yard that you want to grow. While controlling weeds naturally takes some patience, it’s relatively easy if you have the right information. Learn ways to kill crabgrass, moss, poison ivy, and other weeds quickly. Find out how to make a safe homemade weed killer spray with vinegar and get rid of weeds and their roots in the garden, lawn, and other areas with Epsom salts, Borax, and corn gluten meal.
