When you have invested in time and effort to have a beautiful terrace or a lawn, to enjoy a moment of calm and relaxation, the sight of weeds above can make you lose your mind!

If you’re struggling to get rid of its herbs that are making your life difficult, check out some of the best ways to get rid of them for good.

Let us know if you have used any of these tactics to get these unwanted hosts out of your garden.

Use baking soda

This will diminish patio surfaces without introducing toxins into the environment. Just sprinkle a few handfuls on the sidewalk and sweep through the cracks.

Sprinkle them with salt

Boil two parts of water, one part with salt. Pour the mixture directly onto the weeds. You can also sprinkle salt on the weeds in your sidewalk and spray some water over them.

Remove them by hand

It’s less fun but effective! The best way to kill weeds and keep them from spreading on your lawn is to do it by hand. You want to pull out the weeds as soon as they sprout. Use a sharp tool and pull out the set of weeds (root included). In view of the work to be done, you might as well use the correct gardening tool. The garden weed knife is very well suited to help you uproot weeds.

Make them drunk

Alcohol can be dehydrating (which may explain why you get really thirsty after drinking too much of it). This dehydrating effect works very well to put an end to weeds. Mix 30ml of vodka with 2 cups of water and a little dish soap. Mix in a spray bottle and water the weeds liberally. Water the weeds in the middle of the day when the sun is high for the best effect.

Add some flavor

Mix 1 cup of salt with 4 quarts of vinegar, a little dish soap and a little citrus oil. Spray the mixture on the weeds.

Prevent them from appearing

You can make life difficult for weeds by preventing them from growing.

By spreading a little cornmeal, it is more difficult for weed seeds to reproduce. Corn flour doesn’t kill, but it’s a good preventative measure.

Remove the light

One of the methods of getting rid of weeds over a large area of ​​the garden is to prevent the light from reaching them. Take large torn boxes and cover the area attacked by weeds. The paper or black plastic will prevent sunlight from feeding the weeds.

Develop your lawn

A fertilized, healthy turf takes up tons of soil space and blocks weeds from germinating. Just be careful: too much fertilizer (even natural) can kill your lawn.

Boil the water

It’s a safe, simple way and it works! Just pour a pot of boiling water over a weed and watch it wither and die. Getting rid of weeds will do your patio and lawn good, and it will also do you good. Find your garden and your terrace as you would like them to be, a corner of relaxation for the whole family.

All these tips are especially important if you are planning a vegetable garden as I wrote in this article.
