Besides wreckers and diseases to our plants on kitchen garden weeds prevent to develop. They shade and take away all useful microelements from vegetable cultures and complicate their normal development. How it is possible to struggle with domination of weeds on the site in the fall?
It is rather simple to cope with annual weeds. They are powdered with mulch layer, and they do not sprout. With long-term weeds such number will not pass. They very durable can also breed not only seeds, but also escapes, rhizomes, shoots and roots.
During the autumn period after harvesting the weeds begin to accumulate energy, necessary for rewintering. At this moment they strongly grow. Therefore it is necessary to try to cut and remove underground parts of plants, then spring of shoots will be much less. For this purpose in the fall the soil is dug over, and then lumps comb pitchfork and collect weeds. The soil can be dug over manually or cultivator. This way allows to cope with the most harmful weeds: wheat grass, goutweed, nettle and many others.
But happens so that it is impossible to dig over the soil and to remove weeds manually. In this case it is necessary to count on chemical medicines (herbicides). They during the autumn period are quickly absorbed by leaves, extend on roots better and completely destroy weeds. It is necessary to spray with herbicides in dry weather several hours prior to rain. These medicines quickly decay on microelements and do not pollute the soil. Thereby herbicides do not do harm to cultural plants. Weeds leave to rot through towards the winter directly on beds. Because of the rerotting remains of weed plants the soil becomes friable and in the spring easily gives in to digging up. Especially chemical way of fight against weeds helps when it is necessary to get rid of them on the lands which are not processed before.
Also it is possible to get rid of weeds on personal plot if in the fall to seed siderata. These plants not only help with fight against weeds, but also are used as green fertilizers. Siderata sow very densely and in process of growth they completely hammer weed plants. Among gardeners mustard, lupine, clover, oats, rye were widely used. On the general background the lupine and mustard which help to fight also against the wireworm are especially allocated. Sow them right after harvesting, and before winter or just stack on the earth, or dig over. Within the next year on this site the weeds will almost not grow.
Each person himself has to choose convenient way for fight against weeds on the kitchen garden or in garden, but remember that for receiving good harvest it is necessary to spend many forces and time.
