Using Organic Weed Killer Rather Than Chemicals

Weeds will drive you crazy. It seems that in the blink of an eye they can take over your garden and choke the life out of your plants. But if you're at all concerned about the environment, then it is no easier than ever to avoid chemical herbicides. Why not consider using organic weed killer rather than chemical pest control? Use organic methods to control plant pests and feel no more guilt about chemical weed control methods.

How to Use Organic Weed Control Methods Rather Than Chemical Pesticides

Using a hoe to pull any weeds out by hand is the most efficient way to eradicate weeds from the root level without harming the environment.

Lay down a thick layer (2-3 inches) of mulch. Mulch shades the surface of the soil, adds nutrients to the soil and prevents weed seeds from germinating.

Set down a weed barrier mat prior to planting seeds. Weed barrier mats can be planted earlier in the season and they prevent weeds from penetrating and growing in the soil.

Use WOW! from Gardens Alive - an organic pre-emergent herbicide that inhibits the growth of feeder roots. With regular use this will prevent weeds growing in your lawn and garden beds. Take a look at our fertilizer page for a supplier of WOW!

Maintain a regular organic pest controlling program – weeds are much easier to keep under control when there are only a few of them in your garden.
