3. Mulching: Prevent weed growth
Mulching involves covering the soil with natural or synthetic materials to prevent weeds from emerging:
Pine bark , dry leaves or wood chips for flower beds
Non-woven fabric sheets (TNT) for walkways and vegetable gardens
This technique maintains moisture in the soil, reduces maintenance and improves the aesthetics of the garden.
4. Boiling water: simple and eco-friendly
Pouring boiling water directly on weeds is an effective and cost-free remedy. Ideal for:
sidewalks
gaps between the tiles
cemented spaces
The heat destroys the plant cells and burns the roots. Repeat the treatment after 3-5 days if necessary.
5. Flame weed killer: thermal elimination
An increasingly used tool is the gas thermal weed killer , which emits a flame capable of:
dry weeds in seconds
avoid the use of chemicals
be precise and targeted
There is no need to burn the plant: just a few seconds of exposure are enough to block its vital activity.
