2. Mulching
Applying a layer of mulch around your plants can effectively suppress weed growth. Mulch acts as a barrier, preventing sunlight from reaching the weed seeds and inhibiting their growth. Organic mulches, like wood chips or straw, also improve soil health as they decompose.
3. Boiling Water
Pouring boiling water directly onto weeds is a fast and efficient way to kill them. The high temperature of the water destroys the plant’s cells, causing it to wilt and die. This method is especially useful for weeds growing in cracks in pavements or driveways.
