Weeds can be divided into two groups: monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous. The most common monocotyledonous weeds are couch grass, annual panicle and one-sided weed.Perz is characterized by the fact that it reproduces mainly by means of underground rhizomesand is very aggressive towards other plants. In a short time, it can occupy a large area of the garden, drowning out and displacing other plants.
The most common dicotyledonous weeds are:
- dandelion (also known as dandelion)
- quinoa (commonly known as lebioda)
- bylica
- small flower yellow yellow
- rough scarlet
- reeds
Clean ecology
If we want our garden or plot to be fully ecological, we should use old, proven methods in combating weeds, such asweeding and mulching . To make your work clean, fast and pleasant, it is worth having proven tools at hand. 
Weed Xact ™ Fiskars is a tool designed to remove weeds along with their roots. It removes dandelions very well.
Removing weeds from the lawn
A lawn is a homogeneous plant community in terms of its composition. If we do not interfere with its development for a long time, new plants will appear on the turf, completely unrelated to grasses.The wind blows the seeds of dandelions, thistles and daisiesThe clover grows in all directions with the help of runners.There are seeds of various weeds in the ground, waiting for a suitable moment to sprout.
Dandelions are one of the most troublesome. It has a thick and long tap root that must be kept in mind when removing the plant.If the root is left in the soil, it may spread and create several new plants.Therefore, the nun should be deeply prized with an American pitchfork or, preferably, excavated from the ground with a special extractor. The advantage of the latter solution is that the ripper leaves virtually no traces on the lawn. The turf is still even and clean after using the tool. Removing even a nuisance weed like a dandelion takes seconds and is child's play. 
The Fiskars SmartFit ™ weed puller grips the plant with its special claws. This allows the weeds to be removed along with the entire root.
Hat mushrooms appearing on the lawn very often grow annually.These are the so-calleddevil's circles , which in most cases damage the lawn and may lead to the dying away of grasses within them. Devil's vertebrae occur most often due to the undecomposed remains of tree, grass or other plant roots. Inaccurate collection of grass residues after mowing also promotes their development. The only way to combat this species is to remove the turf and soil to a depth of about 30-40 cm in the area of the vertebrae and re-plant the lawn. 
Fiendish circles look interesting, but they damage the lawn. Therefore, they must be removed.
Removing weeds from flower beds
The fastest method of removing weeds in small vegetable gardens ishoeingThis is a traditional method, used since man learned to grow plants. To this day, it is eagerly used due to itssimplicity and effectivenessweed seedlings undercut with a hoe quickly wither, creating a litter.Hoeing also brings other advantages, for example loosening the soil, making it easier for water to soak deep into its surface, as well as reducing the evaporation of water accumulated in the soil (the so-called capillary effect). 
The Danish Hoe is very convenient to use. We guide the blade along the ground and press it at the right moment to cut the weeds. The photo shows the Danish Hoe Xact ™ Fiskars.
Grout scrapers and brushes
Weeds settle slowly and imperceptibly on paths and driveways. Here, the problem is primarilygrass and couch grass, as well as mossesHow to effectively get rid of unwanted guests from these sensitive, hard-to-reach places? They can be etched with fire, using a special weed burner.However, special knives and grout scrapers are saferThese tools are distinguished by a narrow, usually curved blade.Scrapers are also perfect for removing weeds in the corners of buildings, stairs, and gaps between the boards. Especially those models that are equipped with a long, light handle deserve a special mention. Dirt, mosses and lichens that settle on concrete slabs can be easily removed with a wire brush. 
Xact Fiskars grout scraper is the perfect tool for removing weeds and moss between paving slabs, rocks and narrow gaps.
Weed collection baskets
Weeds are best removed in the earliest stages of development - it is easier to dig up such a plant, additionally reducing the risk of seeds shedding. In the case of runner-up weeds, e.g. couch grass, the safest thing to do isremove the whole runners from the soilAnd then?The weeds can be composted , but beware - they need to be dried first in the sun to exclude the possibility of weeding the compost heap.Under no circumstances do we compost fully mature weeds containing seeds, because these can live in a prime for many, many years, and finally germinate in the most unexpected place. Light and handy fabric baskets are extremely helpful in keeping order. 
The Ergo Pop-up basket (size M in the photo with a capacity of 175 l) is made of a material resistant to tearing and mold. When folded, it is only 3 cm high.
Finally, a curiosity.Dandelion is also widely used for medicinal purposes.The root harvested in autumn is especially valuable, and it is used to prepare diuretic decoctions that help in inflammation of the bile and hepatic tracts. Dandelion lowers cholesterol and also supports the treatment of atherosclerosis and anemia. In our country, there is a rich literature containing recipes of medicinal potions and the use of young dandelion leaves in the kitchen.
