Weeds will be short-lived, the non-chemical remedy that cleans everything in a few minutes!
With summer it is clear that our green thumb becomes decidedly more present during daily life.
However, for both us plant lovers and those who grow them for work, growing weeds are on the agenda.
In addition to being annoying and ruining the appearance of crops and flower beds, these weeds can take over, growing spontaneously, the soil and nutrients of the plants we are caring for.
It is clear that weeds can be safely eradicated with chemicals, but at the same time these products could damage the soil irreversibly.
So what can we do to eliminate weeds while protecting the soil?
Also in this case green remedies can be particularly effective.
There are three types of natural remedies that are suitable for us and that we can use without any fear.
Keep reading to discover the natural remedies to use to eliminate weeds:
- Salt and vinegar
A natural and very powerful herbicide is definitely a mixture made up of vinegar and salt. Pour 2 tablespoons of vinegar (apples, wine or alcohol) and a full teaspoon of salt into a bottle. Then bring half a liter of hot water into the bottle and then shake for a few moments. When the salt has dissolved, simply pour the result over the weeds. This way the vinegar will weaken the weeds and the salt will change the pH of the soil.
- Lemon juice
Using lemon juice, in this case, is child’s play. We just have to pour it on the weed we want to eliminate, in fact, in a short time, the citric acid in the lemon will burn the leaves.
- Sugar
Sugar is also an exceptional ally. In this regard, sprinkle a layer of sugar no less than one and a half centimeters high on the roots. The next day we will be able to notice the drier plants until they wither completely.
- Bicarbonate
To use baking soda we can choose two methods to use. The first is to dissolve a glass of baking soda in a liter of water and then pour it on the point where we want to act. Instead, another option to use is to put some baking soda directly on the weeds.
At this point you just have to choose which is the best method for you and your needs.
Good luck with your work.
