Important Factors To Consider On What To Use To Kill Weeds On Farms

By Janine Hughes


Many new gardeners wonder on the best methods to kill herbs in their gardens. The weeds should never be bothering because there is plenty of what to use to kill weeds that attacks the gardens.

One of the safest and cheap way that do not require training is by pulling the herbs off on farm. When the farmland is large it will be very time-consuming especially when you are alone, but there are no chemicals that can affect humans in the long run. If you remove them with the roots there is no chance for them to sprout again. It is a convenient method because you can do the weeding at any stage of development.

The pulling off by hand of unwanted plants will only be efficient if the farm area is relatively small if you are to do it personally. But one can also employ people that would assist in the weeding. But if you still do not want to use chemicals there is the options of boiling water and pouring on the weeds. They will die and the seeds too.

Hot water burns crops and destroys the cells therefore it is important to be careful so that you do not ruin crops on farm. Water with soap is also another effective organic weed protection method; it works well during dry and hot days. Other techniques include spraying the plants using concentrated vinegar and alcohol. Again be careful with this approach because they aren't choosy they would kill both herbs and crops if you do not spray carefully.

Corn meal gluten is very efficient for very young or herbs that are yet to grow. It can also fix nitrogen from the soil and prevent the growth of the plants. The advantage of the corn meal gluten is that it does not kill grass. However, the people are disinterested in organic methods of farming and weed prevention. There is the option of chemicals such as Roundup and Ortho Weed-B-Gon would help to eliminate the unwanted plants. They kill very fast and prevent growth and development of the weeds for many months.

It is however important to note that killing these unwanted plants in the yard is very fine. But always ensure that the specific directions are followed. Always keep these herbicides away from the reach of pets and children.

There are other ways of killing these stubborn plants such as mulching. The whole essence is to prevent sunlight from reaching them, and therefore they die a natural death. You can always use home available tools such as grass, old newspapers, old curtains, and carpets for mulching. Ensure you spread them well on the footpaths of the farm, and you will be set to go. It is one of the most effective ways of keeping these plants away from the gardens without spending so much.

Lastly, every time, you resort to a given method of destroying, killing and controlling weeds on the farm, know there are many factors that would affect your best option. Such factors include the size of the garden and the particular type of plants on the farm.
