Sustainable weed control solutions: how to keep your site clean

Too many weeds on your site? UAportal talks about approaches to solving this common problem.

Ecological weed killer

Instead of using harmful chemical sprays, you can prepare a natural weed killer from home-made ingredients. A solution of equal parts white vinegar and water with a few drops of laundry soap can be sprayed directly on the weeds to kill them without harming the environment.

Edible weeds

Greens such as dandelions, nettles, and purslane are nutritious and can be added to salads and other dishes. By changing the way you look at plants, you can turn them from an irritant to a free and healthy addition to your home cooking.

Mulching with weeds

Instead of disposing of weeds, you can use them as natural mulch in your garden beds. Simply place the torn plants on the surface of the soil to avoid weeds.

This will help to retain moisture and add nutrients back into the soil as the weeds decompose. This method of organic mulching reduces the need for purchased mulch and promotes the growth of healthier, more resilient plants.
