They're everywhere! How can you control the weeds in your lawn and garden without resorting to chemicals?
Turns out there are a few environmentally friendly ways to keep the weeds away! If you are staring from scratch it's really important to put down weed cloth. The weed cloth will prevent weeds form coming through. You may still end up with a few pesky weeds poking through but nothing compared to how it would be without the weed cloth.
If you already have weeds there are a few things you can do to get rid of them. Pouring boiling water on weeds a few days in a row can get rid of certain types of weeds. Spraying a solution of 20 parts water and 1 part vinegar can help get rid of dandelions, velvetleaf, thistle and smooth pigweed. Keeping your lawn mowed and lush also keeps weeds from spreading.
If none of these appeal to you go "au natural"! The planet will thank you.
