4 ways to get rid of weeds along the fence, curbs, paths (plus the best way to kill weeds for 7 years)
Weeds in the country grow by leaps and bounds. Weeds growing along the fence are especially troublesome. In hard-to-reach places (near fences, curbs), it is difficult to mow grass with a trimmer or lawn mower. If I use the trimmer to cut grass under a fence, the line often comes off. Accounted for in other ways.
With some methods, many may disagree. But to find out, you have to try. I offer several options to get rid of grass near a fence, curb, garden path, etc. easily and for a long time.
I would be grateful for your experience, share in the comments.
1. The chemical method is not very suitable for me. Although some only use it. In the garden, such weed control cannot be used. Herbicides build up in the soil, and this harms crops.
For example, the drug "Glyphos" does not harm cultivated plants and eliminates only weeds. And "Tornado" or "Antiburyan" are powerful means that will get rid of all living things.
2. The method is temporary, but you can repeat it as many times as you like. Pour boiling water over the weeds near the fence.
3. In the spring, before weeds appear, sprinkle cornmeal along the fence and in other problem areas. This flour is said to be an excellent natural remedy for weed control. The gluten in flour will interfere with seed germination. Just don't sprinkle cornmeal in your garden, it will inhibit any plant growth.
4. Vinegar is a powerful weed killer. Dilute vinegar and water (1: 1). To enhance the effect, add detergent and salt. Proportions: 2 tbsp. l. salt, 5 tbsp. l. vinegar and one table. l. liquid soap. Dilute all ingredients in a liter of water and spray on weeds along the fence.
How to get rid of weeds for 7 years?
There is an aggressive way. Savvy gardeners have already come to love this method. Herbicides will save you from weeds for a year or two. The electrolyte will kill weeds for a long time. The root system and soil layer are burned out. The product is sold at a car dealership. It must be poured into a spray bottle and used for processing. On the beds and in between, you cannot use! I spray under the parking space and along the fence.
Important: put on gloves, respirator and goggles before work. All weeds after treatment (when they dry out), collect with gloves and dispose of. Do not put in compost!
