Keeping Weeds at Bay Naturally:

Maintaining a relatively weedless gan might seem impossible, and it mostly is. Yet, keeping your gan free of out-of-control weeds, weed infestation, or other weed related problems is possible, and it can be done without the use of harmful chemicals or sprays. With some dilig attion, good old-fashioned elbow grease, patience, and a few trips to your local gan store, you can have a gan free of problematic weeds and bursting with bountiful vegetables, flowers, and whatever you desire to plant.

Poor soil with little nutris natury pres can ow weeds to grow, getting a good foothold, and soon running rampant throughout your precious gan space. Instead of using commercial fertilizer to add the required nutris your soil so desperately needs, organic mulch and compost made from your own lawn clippings and kitchen waste can do wonders. Extra nitrogen is usuy what soil needs most and can be found in organic fertilizers at your local gan store or supplied by adding alfalfa, cottonseed, or soybean meal, also found at your gan or feed stores. Compost made in your own backyard is much cheaper than purchasing these meals and often richer in essial ingredis like phosphorous or potassium as well. Of course only use grass clippings from your natury or non-treated lawn for your mulching. Remember that f brings fing leaves that should be mulched as well, as they are chock full of nutris that will benefit your gan as well. If you want to be able to visuy see how well each particular plant or vegetable is doing, it is helpful to keep them separated into rows, so that you may walk between them, providing yourself the easy access you need to do the necessary maintenance. Also, keeping your plants neatly bunched in this way ows you to apply water from your gan hose reel in a focused, well-meaning way, making sure the necessary H2O is never wasted and will benefit your gan in the ways it should. Now for the elbow grease; many find weeding their gan relaxing, even therapeutic. Hoping you feel this way as keeping your weeds at bay, organicy, involves a lot of pulling by hand, and often. If you're lucky, as I am, you have a budding ganer that rey likes to get dirty. A four-year-old weed-puller can be most helpful, and only requires minimal education as to what should and should not be pulled out. Family time at our house is often sp on knees around our gan and flower beds, pulling weeds, singing songs, and just enjoying ourselves, so give that a try too!

Through dilig manual weeding, organicy mulching and composting, you can have a gan you can be extremely proud of while at the same time being environmy conscious, and reap the rewards of a bountiful gan each and every year.
