Weeds Be Gone (For Good!)

Weeds are frustrating because it seems like no matter how often or hard you pull, the pesky plants always come back to take over your beautiful garden. We're here to offer some tips from professionals in weed control in Savannah GA to making sure that those weeds are under control for good:

-This first one might seem shocking: stop pulling. Surprisingly, pulling weeds out of the ground actually brings more weed seeds above the ground's surface, spreading their presence. Instead, slice them at their roots with a knife and allow the top of the weed to die on its own.
- Smother the weeds so that no light reaches them. You can do this by spreading wood chips, straw, or pine needles over the weeds. Make sure that the covering layer is at least two inches thick.
- Make a schedule to tend to them and stick to it. Consistent maintenance is the best way to assure that they go away and more importantly, stay away.
- Plant plants closer together to eliminate open space that weeds tend to grow into. Not only will your weed growth decrease, but your garden will look more luscious!
