3. Boiling Water: Quick and Effective
It may seem too simple to be true, but boiling water is a powerful natural weedkiller, especially for weeds growing in tight spaces or between rocks. Carefully pour boiling water directly onto the weeds: it will quickly destroy the plant cells, causing them to wilt.
4. Mulching: The Natural Preventive Method
Mulching involves covering the soil with organic materials (such as dry leaves, straw, bark) or natural fabrics. This method blocks sunlight and prevents weeds from sprouting, while keeping the soil moist and nutritious for crops. It’s perfect for vegetable gardens, flower beds, and cultivated areas.
5. Corn Gluten Flour: Prevents Germination
Little-known but highly effective, corn gluten meal acts as a germination inhibitor. When sprinkled on the soil, it prevents weed seeds from developing. It’s especially useful in spring, before weeds begin to grow.
