Weeding the plants is one of the time consuming activities in gardening if we do it manually without the use of chemicals but it is the sure way of not hurting the plants, besides the side effect of using chemical in your garden. Imagine the number of hours you would be spending every week trying to get rid your plants of the weeds? And controlling them is a gardener's nightmare which cannot be escaped from. If only the truth would be bared and divulge the real main cause of the weeds, every aspect of weeding labor applied in the garden or rid it from weeds would have come to an easy ending. There would be no more sleepless nights figuring out how to finish the area of your weeding hours. If you are the gardener you must remember the reasons why the weeds are always there trailing you, your precious time devoted to thinking out how to weed out faster has no purpose at all because there would be no more of it, it is the gardener, the main reason why weed thrives out easily on your garden and it happens because of the lack of knowledge on his part.
That is the simple truth that you the gardener is the culprit behind these fast growing weeds behind you that is why you won't defeat it unless you sit down and plan your moves. There is a solution to this problem only if you will accept the facts as you study one by one the reasons that keep these weeds coming out and how to deal with them the easy way that you can live with them. Let us discuss them one by one as you follow below;
The first biggest cause of the problem on weeds is that you have neglected weeding at end of the growing season and the weed had its field day growing up faster unmolested. You should have pulled them out as soon as you saw them growing with your seeds because if you allow them to grow they would outgrow your plants and bear their own seeds and it would complicate your problem on weeding 100 times. Once they grow and have flowered the seeds develop faster and may spread before you can get hold of them for disposal. Be watchful of these weeds and you have to pull them out as soon as they see light every morning.
The second biggest contributor to the growth of weeds is your open area that is left unplanted since it has no cover to prevent the seeds of weeds blown away into your garden and germinate. Have your bare soil planted with anything green so as to shield your garden from these unwanted seeds of weeds and also see to it that when you harvest some crops be sure to have a ready replacement for it to keep the weeds from growing from that open bare soil.
Check and weed out that weed seeds from your soil. Cultivate it deeply so you may expose them before they germinate and infest your plants and a regular loosening or cultivating of the top soil is also a good preventive action to stop the seed from germinating every now and then in your plots. Another precaution is not to throw weed seeds into your compost area so as not to contaminate it with weed seeds as you apply your compost to your top soil when ready for application.
