You've just got the yard of your dreams and everything looks great. As the months go by you start to realize that, although your yard looks great, there are a few things that have changed. weeds are growing and hurting the plants you've wanted for so long, the bushes look messy and too tall for your liking, and some plants don't seem to be thriving like you expected them too. Let's discuss some ways to fix these problems.
Dealing with Weeds
If you're familiar with yard work then weeds are no stranger to you. Here are some ways to prevent these invasive plants from showing up.
(don't do what this guy did and make sure you pull the root out)
Cutting/Pulling weeds from the root: weeds have the tendency to linger around if they are not removed properly, that is why it's so important to locate the root/head of the weed and remove it.
Laying down a layer of mulch: Mulch is useful for many things such as conserving water and protecting the soil, but mulch is also responsible for suppressing weeds and limiting the sunlight they get making it much harder for them to thrive.
Weed Killers: This one is the most commonly used technique for getting rid of weeds. With a pretty straightforward approach, apply solutions such as weed killer over areas where weeds seem to thrive. It's also helpful to apply it to areas where you just removed the root from, just be careful and avoid spraying other plants as well.
