Pests and weeds

Start early with weeding, Weeds often grow wild and stubborn, vigorous and fast. If you want to control unwanted growth, you should work long-term and regularly. It's about weeding out all the weeds at the beginning of the season, but also about making regular spot efforts.,Seed weeds and root weeds, Weeds can be divided into two categories: seed weeds and root weeds. Seed weeds come back every year and are either stored in the ground or come with the wind. Some common seed weeds are chamomile, sow thistle, sorrel, and ground elder. They disappear easiest through diligent weeding at the beginning of the season.,Root weeds, as the name suggests, are plants with roots in the ground, and these can be harder to remove. Some common weed types with developed root systems are dandelion, ground elder, couch grass, nettles, moss, coltsfoot, and thistle. Here, the key is to attack the root to remove the plant.

The most common types of weeds, Dandelion - it takes time to get rid of this stubborn plant. It spreads quickly and is easiest to remove with a small shovel or weed remover. Be sure to get the root.

It does not like to be cut and gets tired if you cut it down repeatedly. It can also be pulled up with the roots.Couch grass - to get rid of this fast-growing species, it is important to pull it up by the roots and make sure to follow up with weeding. In flower beds, it is easy to pull up the plant.Nettles - it is easiest to remove nettles early in the season with a rake. Then the root system is still weak. You can also make a targeted effort and pull up plant by plant by hand. Remember to use sturdy gloves.Moss - the best remedy for moss is grass and light. With lime, fertilizer, and aeration, the moss will soon disappear and be replaced with grass.
