Wood louse (canary grass, chickweed)

In the spring, before planting in the flower garden crop plants, it is treated preemergence herbicides (e.g., calcium cyanamide). Summer can also be applied herbicides (Rankoteks, diphenamid and t.). Wood louse loves the water, so if it is on a bed, water the crop plants better dot, at the root.

A good way to deal with woodlice - mulching.

Three pillars of prevention of weeds in flowerbeds

We follow the manure: Amaranth, not only, but also other weeds can be entered in the garden with manure. If this happens, it means that the manure pereprel not until the end, and it remained weed seeds. Responsible gardeners always remove weeds from the manure and compost heaps, so that they do not sow a seed and not infected with a garden in the future. Weeds with dunghill removed easily.

We apply a temporary mulch if excavated earth under a bed in the early fall, be sure to Zamulchiruyte her anything. At this time, there is the universal seeding weeds, seeds fly in the air and looking for somewhere to fall.

Remove weeds in step young seedling. In no case do not let the appearance of seeds, do not make yourself extra work!
