Dandelion field: how to get rid of weeds

Many participants FORUMHOUSE faced with the fact that their site by May, all overgrown with dandelions. This plant is very insidious: it is enough just one flower to dandelion gradually spread across the lawn. Its seeds are very well fly over long distances and germinate at any undisguised plot. But bring dandelions difficult. The reason for this is their roots: the very powerful (they can reach thirty centimeters), but it is fragile, so it is difficult to completely remove from the soil. From what is left can easily grow a new weed. But enough "horror stories". If we want to overcome the unwanted plants, you need to act!

Uprooted

One of the most unpretentious way to get rid of a dandelion - dig it. But, as you already understood, it must be done so that the root has disappeared. To do this, pour over the place where the weed grows: of moist soil is much easier to extract the root. The soil can also be loosened, if the root is not amenable.

The stores sell special tools for digging up dandelions and other weeds.

Of course, if the dandelions had already spread throughout the site, this way of dealing with them will be too long and tedious. You can try every week to cut only the upper part of the plant without disturbing the root. Repeating this procedure five times, it is thus possible to kill, and dandelion root.

To combat dandelions sometimes all means are good, especially when they interfere with the cultivation of crops and just spoil the look of the site - it is very important for the participants forumhouse.rueto. Therefore, in the course of chemicals can go, or rather, herbicides. Of course, it is a cruel thing, because it kills all plants. But there are drugs selectively action. To remove dandelions in ordinary vinegar can be used as a herbicide. Moreover, the higher will be the concentration of acetic acid, the more effective will combating weeds.

With the evaporation can increase the percentage of acidity in the vinegar.

Chemicals should be used in the autumn: the fact that at this time, the dandelion is preparing for the winter, and nutrients from the top of the pass at the root. If a plant poison, herbicides fall directly into the root of the plant. For this reason it is a few days before the operation did not mow the lawn and dandelions are on it.

Another "drug" to combat the dandelion: salt. If you sprinkle salt on a flower after a while only dark spot is left of this place. But do not overdo it: salt can also hit the useful plants. Apply it must be dotted.

The best time to prevent

A good method of dealing with dandelions - prevention of their occurrence. Firstly, you need to properly care for your lawn. No bare spots on it should not be: as we have said, it is best to grow dandelions in unprotected soil. Once a week, it should be mowed (6-8 cm). This can be done a variety of lawn mowers, but you can make it with your own hands. Weeds will not appear if the soil is sufficient moisture and nutrients.

A thick layer of turf, too, does not allow weeds to appear on the site.

Aesthetics is important, but at the time can be sacrificed for the sake of accuracy of lawn weed control. Leave grass cuttings on the pen: it will turn into a barrier will not allow weeds to germinate.

If no methods of dealing with dandelions did not help, you may want a different look at the problem. In Conca end, the second name of this plant, "dandelion", and its beneficial properties discovered in ancient China. And in this sense, dandelion certainly can not be called a weed!
