The site is overgrown with horsetail every year, what can be done to get rid of it?

Horsetail likes acidic soil, namely those for the most part, in Moscow and in Siberia. The most effective way: to deoxidize the soil. For this purpose, prior to planting the soil making ash or hydrated lime: 100 grams per square meter. Lime or ashes need to evenly sprinkle on the ground and seal the rake.

Does digging cope with the most "difficult" weed?

It is very effective, although time-consuming method. That he will get rid of this shit, like dandelions, goutweed, sow thistle and quack grass. You need to dig up the site and hand select all of the rhizome. But there are two subtleties:

• dig site must manually and fork, not a shovel. Shovel or walk-behind the more inevitably will cut the roots of the weed to pieces, and each of the new weed will grow.
• it is necessary to dig, breaking clods of finely ground.

We have allocated land for potatoes at the former mowing a meadow. I passed a tractor plowed with a huge blade. Hardworking neighbors were shrimp, choose wheat grass and laid on beds borders. And my husband is a village dug neatly gryadochki that the roots were upstairs (my husband said that dry out in the sun (this is what we have in Arkhangelsk) and broke up the clods with a shovel. Then we are right in the grass planted potatoes. Potatoes grown in the glory, of the weeds was only quinoa... we brought with manure. But the neighbors grew frail potatoes (with grass they carried all the humus). So now for me wheatgrass is not a problem.

What else helps to cope with couch grass in the area, except for digging?

Unfortunately, digging - the most effective method. But if the area wheatgrass bit, you can try soda solution or a salt thereof: soda packaging at 5 liters of water (or 3 kg moles for a bucket). The solution was poured where grows wheatgrass.

"People agronomists" do not approve of manual weeding. Is it effective?

Hand weeding is one of the most effective methods of weed control.

But in this important agro-technical measures regularly, so it is best suited for those who are constantly lives next to the vegetable garden, and is not coming for the weekend. If you remove the new shoots, even the most hardy weeds with strong roots (wheat grass, sow thistle, field bindweed), then:

• this will inevitably weaken the root system;
• deprive the plant of solar energy.

Can I use chemicals to remove weeds?

Most FORUMHOUSE users do not use herbicides. But there are some difficult situations when they can not do without. Thus, these agents is recommended for those who bought a new site launched, completely overgrown with grass. Users of our portal use "Tornado", "Roundup", "Killer", and so on. D.

Experts say you need at least a month to pesticides is completely decomposed in the soil. Therefore, they can not be used in the ripening harvest time.

How effective mulch to control weeds?

Mulching - a favorite method of "popular agronomists", including Nicholas Kurdyumova, author of "smart garden." Ideally, the garden should not even be uncovered land!

It is necessary to settle all the plants or ground cover mulch, paving slabs, lawn, tree trunks of trees in circles- either annuals or mulch. Under the bushes mulch on beds - netkanka, mulch, in the aisles of paving slabs (according to the rules of laying), gravel, stone. As you like, in terms of money, design.

Mulching can be cardboard, hay, freshly cut grass, bark or beautiful stones. Before mulching the beds need weeding. Of course, all the weed mulch does not deliver, but to cope with two or three broke through the layer of mulch "zadohlik" is much easier than to bend back over the weedy beds.

The easiest way to hide a bed of black film or agrovoloknom by making slits in them to plants.

Is it possible to mulch the grass of the lawn mower?

 Can. But it is imperative that such a layer of mulch was thin and could dry out well. Otherwise, the grass will start to rot, secrete ammonia, which can burn the roots, or to provoke unwanted (especially during the second half of the summer) the growth of green mass.

But potatoes are not zamulchirovat. How to get rid of weeds in potato field?

I know that there are several measures to combat weeds in potatoes.
1. Before planting seed the green-manures (mustard etc.).
2. Spud much as three times until frost when tops will grow up to 25 cm and two weeks after the second earthing up. Then, they say, greens gives a strong shade and less weed climbs.
3. But most importantly, immediately after harvest re-sow green manure.

And that green manure not only fertilize the beds, but also help control weeds?

This is absolutely true. Firstly, when we harvest, weeds in the beds is not competitors, and they begin to grow by leaps and bounds. Therefore, agronomists recommend not to leave beds empty and immediately sowed their rye, mustard, raspsom, white clover, etc.
Secondly, mustard and rapeseed help fight harmful plants directly: they secrete into the soil glycosides that inhibit the growth of weeds. Three weeks later mowed green manure, watered and buried in the ground.

There is a good way to deal with weeds and pests: after harvest mustard plant site when she is a little older, mow, dig and pour. It seems to be burning kills roots.

We are struggling with weeds, and the neighbors - no. With their land to us that goutweed crawl, then wheatgrass. What to do?

It is best to fence the land. Now garden stores sell special tape, which can be embedded in the ground to a depth of 50 cm on the border with its neighbors, also fit a regular slate or pieces of tin.

I just dug along the border areas of our sheets of tin from old roofs, and now I've got on the site goutweed is growing only in the raspberry patch.

Does the growth of weeds is as organized watering?

As with all plants, need water weeds. When we water the beds from a watering can or hose, we water and crop plants and weeds. Therefore, on the landings, where drip irrigation is organized, weeds can not get enough: water goes directly to the roots of crop plants and weeds wither and die from drought.
