Weeds are the main enemies for all gardeners. Even if there is no garden on the site of a country house, the weed in the garden can appear and spoil the neatly trimmed lawn grass, turning it into a field.

Today, there are many ways to combat unwanted weeds: high-tech methods and traditional ones for every taste. Without problems, you can choose the method that suits you more than others.

What is the best way to deal with weeds?

If you are familiar with weed control, then you probably know the weeding of the garden plot firsthand. Despite the fact that most gardeners most often advise this method, in practice it is impossible not to notice that it is extremely difficult to implement.

This is primarily due to the fact that weeding cannot guarantee absolute disposal of weeds, and also takes a lot of free time.

Another well-known method is to mulch the soil around planted plants. To do this, the land must be covered with a dark film that does not give the weeds the right to grow and develop. In the last couple of years, gardeners have become especially active in using special solutions - herbicides for the rapid removal of unwanted plants.

Of course, to date, the destruction of weeds using them is the most effective, but it is important only to know in advance how to use them.

The nuances of getting rid of weeds on the lawn

If in order to clean the garden of weeds, there are a huge number of different tools and techniques, then in order to quickly eliminate the "invaders" of the lawn, you really have to work hard.


Weed control that grows on lawn grass can continue throughout the summer. If in the situation with the beds, they can be quickly sprayed and then wait for the removal of weeds without worrying about them after that for up to two months, then you will have to deal with the lawn regularly and only this will help to achieve a really neat and beautiful garden.

Folk Weed Control Methods

Most of the gardeners will be able to offer everyone their favorite folk remedy for weeds today, which will allow you to get rid of them in a short time and at the same time as safe as possible for the crop.

We clean the beds with salt, vinegar

The first thing to do is prepare a solution consisting of salt, any dishwashing detergent and vinegar. When preparing the solution, carefully monitor the proportions of the ingredients, as this affects the effect on the weeds.

After all the components of the solution are mixed, they need to carefully sprinkle all the weeds. The result will not be long in coming and will be noticeable after 24 hours. This drug works on a par with any herbicide.

An important point. This solution should be used as carefully as possible, since any plant can die from it, that is, all of its cultural plantings must be covered with a protective film during spraying.

There are many plants that are simply impossible to destroy with chemicals. In this case, it is worth turning to just using a solution of vinegar. There are many recipes for it:

  • 40% vinegar solution must be diluted in half with clean water and then sprayed;
  • In 2 l of pure water, dilute 5 cups of 6% vinegar solution.This amount of funds is enough for 2 hundred parts of a suburban area. When processing herbs, it is only necessary to carefully monitor that vinegar in no case falls on cultivated plants.
  • Mix 3 parts of a 9% vinegar solution and 1 part of lemon juice. Such a solution will also allow you to get rid of unwanted weeds.

Is it possible to get rid of weeds with a salt solution? The answer is yes, but only to this method, when the tornado remedy for weeds does not fit already, they resort in the case when it is necessary to clean the curbs or paths.

It is forbidden to use it in the garden, since when salt enters the soil, the growth of cultivated plants is significantly slowed down. In addition, salt contains chlorine, which also has a toxic effect on worms, and they are necessary for fertile soil.

In order to maximize the effect, you can add a little citric acid to the solution of vinegar and salt. Such a concentrated solution, upon contact with the leaves, will burn them almost instantly and thereby lead to the death of the plant as a whole.

The use of folk remedies in weed control

Many gardeners get rid of weeds with soda. If you pour slots with a solution of soda (3 tablespoons per 1 liter of clean water) between the plates on the path in the garden, then you can achieve the desired result in just a couple of weeks.

It should be noted that the greater the concentration of the prepared solution, the better the effect.

Particularly resourceful people today are even ready to fight weeds with the help of vodka. To prepare the solution, 400 grams of pure water, a couple of drops of the cheapest detergent and 30 ml of vodka are mixed. Next, weeds are sprayed from the spray gun.

This method of struggle has one caveat, which consists in the fact that it can be used exclusively on the sunny side.

Another weed control assistant is kerosene. Here are just quick results from spraying, judging by the experiments carried out, they are noticeable exclusively on seedlings of carrots. This is due to the toxicity of the product, which is so high that it kills almost all plants.


The worst thing is that if kerosene, for example, gets on healthy soil, then for two years you can forget about planting something on it. In addition, the vapors are so strong that they are unsafe for humans.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that with just one weeding, as practice shows, getting rid of weeds is almost impossible.

Besides the fact that this is difficult to do from a physical point of view, in fact, the work is reduced to zero after a couple of weeks. For this reason, it is better to take on one of the methods described above.
