Weeds can be a Gardener’s antagonist, causing havoc to their beautiful flowerbeds. Nige shows us how to manage weeds organically.

• Bare soil areas in the garden are prone to developing weeds.
• Mulch is critical for not only reducing weed growth but acting as an insulation blanket for an even soil temperature and saving water by reducing evaporation.
• Smothering weed infestations with a layer of newspaper and then mulch is a tried and tested trick to combat weeds.
• In lawns, aerating, feeding, watering and regular mowing are crucial for successful growth and weed elimination.
• Ensure to hand weed or mow weeds down before they set seeds down and grow further roots.
• Regular mowing and feeding encourage a healthy thick lawn, harder for weed seeds to germinate.
• Spraying is a fast and easy option to eliminate weeds.
• Seasol’s Earth-care range, Organic Weedkiller is an organic, glyphosate-free contact herbicide containing pelargonic acid that controls a wide range of weeds as well as lichen, moss, and algae.
• The Organic Weedkiller works by breaking down the waxy coating of leaves and stems, destroying the cells leading to death by dehydration.
• Seasol’s Earth-care range, Organic Weedkiller is completely biodegradable leaving no residue in the soil.
• Spray with Seasol’s Earth-care, Organic Weedkiller during calm, dry conditions to avoid drift and wash off.
