It is possible to get rid of grass of wood louse as well as of other weeds - by means of weeding. However it is necessary to make sure that the pulled-out grass finally has dried up. Care of reduction of acidity of the soil will bring beneficial effects in fight against importunate weed too.
The wood louse has pronounced therapeutic effect: anti-inflammatory, diuretic, bile-expelling, hypotensive. For ability to counteract stenocardia, she has received even the name "warm grass". However when this creeping annual plant ruthlessly begins "to take" the huge areas of the garden site, it becomes the most malicious weed. And normal weeding – absence from the created situation, even the grass which is rooted out and broken off on part at the minimum hit of moisture will take roots again.
Features of mechanical removal of wood louse
The oldest and certain way of removal of weeds – weeding, but the wood louse demands special approach. The first impression about ease and speed of its weeding out - is deceptive as this grass expands even quicker. The wood louse grows from April to October, and its seeds are not afraid even of the most severe frosts. Having wintered in the soil and having arisen at the first spring signs, wood louse seeds in month will give not only magnificent young growth, but also new seeds. If not to weed carefully wood louse to blossoming phase, it will be able to give three times during the summer new generation. Thus, the site will be so littered with seeds that even deep redigging will not help.
When the site is started, it is necessary to have patience for fight against wood louse. The seeds which have lain at depth can remind of themselves at the next redigging again and again. According to scientists, seeds of wood louse have enviable viability up to 30 years. It is necessary to be engaged in weeding of this weed till late fall that the surface of the site covered with wood louse has not left under snow. And it is even better to clear after harvesting all site of foreign young growth and to dig over manually or to process cultivator. Besides seed reproduction, the wood louse is capable also to vegetative. Roots of grass are on surface therefore it is necessary to try to break weed together with them and not to store within the site at all and not to send to compost heap which is the most favorable environment for wood louse. During the summer the most suitable time of fight against wood louse are hot days when the broken grass quickly burns down in the sun. Some summer residents prefer to cover after weeding the soil with black film that the remains of weed were comprehended by the same fate.
Raskisleny soils – one of ways of fight against wood louse in kitchen garden
Fight against wood louse can drive to despair, especially if the soil on the site has acidic and silnokisly environment. The grass grows in such conditions "by leaps and bounds" and only weeding will hardly help. It is necessary to finish level rndo neutral. Chalk, lime, ashes, dolomite powder, shell of eggs, old plaster suits for this purpose. Only dolomite powder and lime cannot be connected to urea, superphosphate, ammonium nitrate. With introduction of limy fertilizers not only the acidity decreases, but also the structure of the soil improves, activity of microorganisms is stirred up that considerably reduces growth of weeds. As the listed above means are alkalis, it is better not to mix them with other fertilizers which use for fertilizing during the summer. They are brought in the fall or in the spring under redigging. It is possible to water the soil with ashes solution (1 glass on water bucket), but wood ashes are poorly operating means. Well solution of water of lime and sulfur in the ratio 50:5:1 helps. The alkalis brought in the soil, are rich with calcium which is dissolved in water, changing reaction. It will be possible to win against acidic environment, and here vegetables will receive less necessary microelements if to carry out the procedure of raskisleniye during their growth and fructification. It is much more important to watch in the summer that the used fertilizers have not resulted in the return result. There is number of plants which too well influence acidity level. For example, fatseliya.
