Weeds are a problemin almost every garden. They grow on vegetable patches, flower beds, paths and driveways.To get rid of weedsrequires labor-intensive weeding or spraying with herbicides. The latter, however, are harmful to the environment. AHow to get rid of weeds without chemicals?Are there any home remedies and preparations that we can prepare ourselves? Yes of course! Here are the3 natural weed remediesthat will help you get rid of this annoying problem quickly.
3 ways to get rid of weeds without chemicals
1. Vinegar weed spraying
Vinegar in gardening is sometimes used as a home method to acidify the soil and as a practical drug that allows you to get rid of cats from the garden. It also copes well with weeds. To do this, mix the vinegar with water in a ratio of 2: 1 and spray the weeds with the resulting solution.This natural weed treatment can be used mainly on driveways and pathswhere no other plants grow. Vinegar is recommended for weeds in cobblestones, because spraying with vinegar will destroy the weeds without damaging the pavement ( although to be sure it is always better to test in an inconspicuous place before spraying the entire surface of the path or driveway with vinegar).
Unfortunately, vinegar is not selective and it also damages crops. Alternatively, on a clear, windless day, we can tryto apply the vinegar solution to selected weeds in the bedsin such a way as not to accidentally spray the crops.
2. Baking soda
Anothernatural way to treat weeds is the use of baking sodaBaking soda in gardening is widely used, mainly as a remedy for plant diseases and pests. Soda will deal well with weeds on driveways and paths that need to be sprinkled for the first time in early spring (before the weeds start to sprout) or immediately after manually removing the weeds. Sprinkling these places with baking soda reduces the risk of subsequent weeding.
3. Pelargonic acid
Can the essential oil obtained from pelargonium have anything to do with natural weed control?Well, yes, because it contains pelargonic acid (also called nonanoic acid), which copes with this problem.
We will not isolate this acid ourselves, butwe can find it in the ready preparation for weeds Effect 24H . This preparation is mainly recommended as an alternative to the popular herbicide Roundup, which contains glyphosate which is very harmful and carcinogenic.
Thanks to Effect 24Hwe get rid of weeds without chemicals , spraying unwanted plants in the morning on a clear, dry day, because then its action is most effective. We spray the product at a dose of 160 ml of the agent per 2 liters of water, which is enough for 100m² of the garden. The effect of the preparation is visible after the first day.
Effect 24H works on the green parts of plants, without damaging the woody parts, soperfectly copes with weeds in the orchard, between trees and shrubs , and thanks to its fast biodegradation, you can sow grass or set up a vegetable patch.
