To prevent weeds from overtaking your garden, you can implement the following strategies:
-
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around your plants to suppress weed growth by blocking sunlight and preventing weed seeds from germinating.
-
Regular weeding: Pull out weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent them from spreading and competing with your plants for resources.
-
Plant densely: Planting your garden with a dense arrangement of plants can help shade out weeds and prevent them from growing.
-
Use landscape fabric: Installing landscape fabric under mulch can further inhibit weed growth by creating a barrier between the soil and sunlight.
-
Consider weed barriers: Some gardeners use physical barriers like edging or borders to prevent weeds from spreading into their garden beds.
By combining these strategies and staying proactive in weed management, you can effectively prevent weeds from overtaking your garden.
