How to forget about weeding for 25 years

There is probably no more nasty work than pulling weeds. But there is a way that will allow you to get rid of them as much as 25 years. Just imagine: a quarter of a century without weeding! Some gardeners have heard about it, but to try on their acres, I believe that method works.

Last year I decided to try him at his dacha. Took the experiment a small area. Did everything by the book and was convinced: this is perfect. This year there was not one blade of grass! And what else is nice, the plants are always clean — they never excavation drops that always occur when watering with a hose.

The progress Plot is dug, carefully choosing the rhizomes of perennials. Then the land is leveled with a rake. Top trail special geotextile — non-woven fabric of dark color (it is sold in garden centers). And sprinkled on top of mulch — wood chips, shredded bark or small stones.



Mulch is not just for beauty, it allows you to extend netchange life, because without shelter matter loses its properties after two years. And with the mulch used for 25 years.

Geotextile has unique properties. It is thick — rhizomatous weeds are not able to get through it. She's dark — sprouts of annual weeds underneath die without light. It passes water into the soil, but does not allow it to evaporate quickly back to water will have far less!

To put on this site plants need to rake the mulch to do in the geotextile cross-cut, fold the corners and flatten their stones. Then gently dig a hole, put a seedling, cover the roots with earth, to return the parts of the tissue to its original position and re-cover with mulch. Thus it is possible to Refine and garden, and flower garden, raised beds with strawberries, and a rose garden.





There is a caveat But it is important to choose the right mulch. It's not just a matter of taste.
For example, bark and wood chips are appropriate in the flower garden, the rose garden or strawberry plantations, away from trees and shrubs. But in the garden these materials are not suitable. The fact that the fall of the trees it attacks the foliage and remove it would be extremely difficult. Have to pick every leaf by hand.

But if you fill the garden with small stones, such as granite gravel (as in our case) to get rid of the litter much easier — you can sweep it with a broom or blow off the special outdoor cleaner. With shredded bark and chips this will not work — they too will be swept-deflate.published
