If you have an organic garden, no doubt you are concerned about protecting it from weeds.
Fortunately, there are some all natural ways of controlling weed that are effective as well as environment friendly.
Here are some of the easiest all natural methods you can use to control weed in your garden: Use Horticulture Vinegar: Horticulture vinegar comes with a much stronger concentration than household vinegar and can be very useful in controlling weeds.
It not only burns off the stem of the weeds, but also kills their roots, to ensure that they do not come up again.
However, this must be used with care, as it can kill plants other than weed as well.
Use Clove Oil or Citric Oil: This is another natural way of controlling weed.
This solution is less powerful than using horticulture vinegar and if your weed problem is not too extreme, you may consider using either clove oil or citric oil products.
Corn Gluten Meal: With corn gluten meal, it is possible to ensure that the roots of the weeds are not allowed to grow at all.
By stopping the weed from germinating, you will not have to worry about killing or destroying it later.
The additional advantage of using corn gluten meal is that it also acts as a fertilizer since it adds nitrogen to the soil, which helps keep the grass green.
Lush Lawn: This is another cost effective method of controlling weed.
Just ensure that you maintain a thick, lush lawn.
With grass growing on all empty land, the weed will find it difficult to find space to set roots.
