8. Corn Gluten Meal
Corn gluten meal can prevent weed seeds from germinating. Applying this natural pre-emergent herbicide to the soil can stop weed growth before it starts. This method is particularly useful in preventing weeds from spreading in garden beds and lawns.
9. Landscape Fabric
Using landscape fabric can provide a barrier against weed growth. This fabric is laid over the soil and covered with mulch or gravel. It blocks sunlight and prevents weeds from growing through, making it a long-term solution for weed control.
