Wild herbs, much better known as weeds, are plants that grow so fast and invasive that they can literally leave the plant species that we have in the garden or in pots without food. For this reason, one of the tasks that we have to do throughout the year is to remove them, but… how?
If we do it wrong, that is, if we leave the roots, it is very possible that they will come out again as soon as they receive a little water. So let’s explain when and how to remove weeds so that this does not happen to you again.
When to remove weeds?
Garden
It will depend on the tastes of each one, as well as the climate. For example, I like established gardens that have a -low- green carpet, but if you are young like mine then I try to leave the land as free of herbs as I can. This means in my case picking up the hoe and getting on with this task regularly, especially in winter and spring when it rains the most. But if you live in a humid climate, you will probably have to remove them much more often.
Flower pot
In a pot, things change. The space that the roots have is limited so yes or yes we must remove all wild herbs as soon as we see them germinate.
How to remove them?
In the garden
To remove them in the garden you can do several things:
- Remove them with a gardening tool such as a hoe, or if the garden is large with a rototiller.
- Use non-toxic products for the environment such as the following, taking care with garden plants:
- Sal Island
- Boiling water
- Diary paper
- Shading mesh
Potted
To leave our potted plants free of herbs, the ideal is to first water them and then, with gloves or tweezers, remove them.
