How to Naturally Dispose of Weeds

 It's almost spring, so the big question is what to do first? Take a look at your perennials. Do they have a lot of dead foliage on them still from last year? If so, cut it or pull it off. Clean up all of last years growth so the new growth will look clean and fresh. Get rid of all the weeds in your gardens. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's no fun, but if you get all of them out now you can maintain a weed free garden all season long. Well, almost weed free. Weed control is an all summer task, but it shouldn't be difficult or overwhelming. Most people fail at weed control because they never get it completely under control. So here's what you do. Start loosening the soil and removing all the existing weeds. Then put down newspaper at least 8 pages thick and cover that with about 2″ of mulch. You can also use brown paper grocery bags, they work great! I don't like those weed barrier fabrics that you can buy in the garden stores because... when I was in the landscaping business I pulled out miles of that stuff. Why did we pull it out? Because it was a horrendous mess with weeds growing up through it! You couldn't pull the weeds because they were all tangled up in the so called weed barrier material.  If you need any kind of information on this article related topic click here: Buy Weed In Vancouver
