Gardeners explain how a simple newspaper can help eradicate weeds once and for all

Weeds in a flower bed not only spoil the appearance, but also harm cultivated plants. However, an eco-friendly trick can help you get rid of weeds in your garden forever.

A simple but effective technique involves using an old newspaper. This is reported by Express.co.uk.

The method of removing weeds with newspapers involves placing layers of wet newspaper on any area of the garden with weeds and covering it with soil. This will deprive the weeds of any light or nutrients – without the use of chemicals.

The newspaper will gradually decompose, effectively creating a completely new layer of soil. Another advantage of using wet newspaper is that it acts as a mulch during the winter months.

Wet newspaper will help retain moisture in the soil during the colder months, keeping the soil loose and preventing it from drying out too quickly. If your lawn is currently overrun with weeds, it's worth trying this idea.
