Garden Weeds

Wedding is necessary since weeds also use nutrients from the soil. They compete with water and light, thus, affecting the growth of crop be reducing the yield

No it is not it is a source of anti oxidents and is used in Japan as food!

Yes, Roundup weed killer can kill cats if precautions are not taken. The pest control in question contains glyphosate, which is toxic to people and pets when contact is made while the active ingredient still is effective. Glyphosate exposure requires diluting any amounts ingested with milk or water, rinsing eyes for 20 minutes and taking the beloved feline to the veterinarian as quickly as possible.

A non-residual, target-specific herbicide is a weed killer that does not kill iris. The herbicide may be either pre-emergent or post-emergent. It must not be a weed killer that impacts all vegetation in the immediate area or that remains in the environment.

To kill weeds and not the bushs is done by using your weed killer product up to the roots of the bush. Most roots of a bush are no wider then the branches of the bush. Then you will manually need to remove the weeds around the bushs. Also very important do not get the weed product on any of the bush's leaves or branches. I use a weed product that is organitc and has never killed anything but my weeds. Please note that I have nothing fancy or expensive in my yard. So a little care and some manual work you will have a weed free lawn and healthy bushs.

Black plastic sheeting, bulldozing, controlled burns, manual or mechanical removal, mulches, roto-tilling, salt, vinegar, weed-eaters and weed-killers are ways to rid stone-covered gardens of plants and weeds. A small stone garden can be controlled for weeds by removing the rocks temporarily -- to clear-cut the ground, with bulldozers or roto-tillers, or to solarize vegetation by putting down permanently weighted down black plastic sheeting. The other options do not require removing the rocks but working around them to eliminate plants and weeds.

Two types of methods are used to control pests. Natural pest control methods are employed to reduce or eliminate infestations through companion planting, crop rotation, predatory animals or repellent plants, but without harming humans, crops and other organisms. In contrast, chemical pest control methods often employ harsh pesticides that may be applied systemically (targeting where plants are commonly ingested by pests) or sprayed aerially, but with harmful and residual effects on both human and animals living within the area.

Repellent plants are practical if they will grow in your area. You can also put up a fence, even a low, decorative one, and run a low-voltage hot wire around the top. You can get a pet-voltage box that will not injure an animal, and the wire itself, at pretty much any hardware store. After getting shocked a few times the cats will probably stop trying to get in altogether. However, this method is not advised.

Try a concoction of 'hot pepper' spray. This can be made by heating Red Pepper Flakes in a pot of hot water, or mineral spirits. Spray this liberally around the intended area and all animals should avoid it. Many commercially available solutions are designed specifically to 'repel' deer, rodents, and cats.

Another sneaky method is to grow some Catnip, or Cat grass nearby, but far enough away to keep the felines busy and hopefully forget about your target plants. One of the reasons cats (& dogs) frequent a bed is to spray/urinate OVER a previous animals scent. Keep that in mind.

Cat Stop is an ultrasonic, battery-operated cat repellent with a motion detector. See the SafePetProducts web site to read more about this highly recommended product.

Push wooden chopsticks or 10-inch plant stakes into flowerbeds every eight inches to discourage digging and scratching.

Cats dislike citrus smells. Scatter orange and lemon peels or spray with citrus-scented spray. You can also scatter citrus-scented pet bedding such as Citrafresh.

Coffee grounds and pipe tobacco also work to repel cats. Some people have also suggested lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, eucalyptus oil and mustard oil.

you can also put pine cones around your plants, cats hate to step on them

I find a Jack Russell terrier ideal.

dig it out , make a big hole, then fill it with flamibles and set aflame.

No, Crossbow weed killer will not kill tulips. The herbicide in question will target woody plants, such as brush, shrubs, thickets and trees. It will not touch edibles or ornamentals, such as flowers, grasses, herbs and vegetables.

you need some ground cover, either plants or something like bark or pebles. it stops sunlight which the weeds need to germinate. of course this does not prevent all weeds you will have to do some weeding only significantly less.

Bulldozing, burning, mowing, roto-tilling, solarizing, and spraying are ways to get rid of fireweed. The Epilobiumgenus member in question reproduces by running roots and wildlife- and wind-dispersed seeding. Bulldozing or burning combined with mowing and spraying tends to eliminmate the honey-nectar-rich, wildlife-friendly wildflower even though fireweed is so-called for its quick emergence and takeover of land clearcut by loggers or ravaged by forest fires.

The active ingredient in Roundup Ready to Use is 2.0% Glyphosate and 2.0% Pelargonic acid and related fatty acids... 2.0%

Bulldozing, controlled burns, manual and mechanical removal, pre- and post-emergent herbicides, smother-cropping, and soil-amending are ways to get rid of pigweed. The Amaranthaceae family member in question can be controlled by hand-pulling and hoeing smaller areas. Smother-cropping with buckwheat before seeding to winter rye works in rural areas and on farmlands.

You can, but you might want to check with a garden store before you do because you can cause problems by mixing certain chemicals. They might have something already made for that purpose. "Agent Orange" was basically just a mix of two kinds of weed and woody plant killers.

No. In most countries, weed, or marajuana, is illegal, and is considered a drug. it is damaging you your lungs, and can have serious effects on your brain and heart in large doses.

Kudzu's root, flower, and leaf are used to make medicine. It has been used in Chinese medicine since at least 200 BC. As early as 600 AD, it was used to treat alcoholism.

Today, kudzu is used to treat alcoholism and to reduce symptoms of alcohol hangover, including headache, upset stomach, dizziness, and vomiting. Kudzu is also used for heart and circulatory problems, including high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and chest pain; for upper respiratory problems including sinus infections, the common cold, hay fever, flu, and swine flu; and for skin problems, including allergic skin rash, itchiness, and psoriasis.

Some people use kudzu for menopause symptoms, muscle pain, measles, dysentery,stomach pain (gastritis), fever, diarrhea, thirst, neck stiffness, and to promote sweating. Other oral uses include treatment of polio myelitis, encephalitis, migraine, deafness,diabetes, and traumatic injuries.

Clusters of flowers known as buds or colas only occur on female or hermaphrodite plants. Hermaphrodites are plants that are part male, part female. If you want sinsemilla buds, make sure you only have pure females. Plants in constant light can sometimes start to show some pre-flowers after only a few weeks of growth. Usually though it takes a change in light cycle to trigger the plants into full reproductive mode. Most varieties of marijuana require 12 hours of darkness per day to induce their flowering cycles. Sativa varieties sometimes need more. Indica varieties can sometimes take less. Ruderalis varieties can flower whatever. Early female marijuana flowers look like little furry hairs, usually white, but they can be other colors. Early male flowers look a bit like small bunches of mini green bananas. Look near the leaf joins on your plants to see them emerging. Even pure female plants have the potential to turn male or hermaphrodite. This can happen if the plant is stressed too much through bad treatment or if chemicals are applied to the plant to induce male flowering.

There are any number of herbicides that will kill dandelions. The trick is finding one that will not kill the good grass around the dandelions. The oldest and most reliable one is called 2,4D. Some people will tell you that 2,4D is "Agent Orange" of Vietnam infamy. Not quite. "Agent Orange" was a chemical mixture called "2,4D with Silvex", and is not available to homeowners.

Properly used, 2,4D has a very long track record of safety and effectiveness. It is the "plus 2" in the granular lawn product "Turf Builder plus 2".

A lawn mower and the appropriate herbicide are used for weeding the grassy area that surrounds the garden. For the less weeds that are in the immediate area of the garden, the less likely there are of weed seeds being in the garden. A weed-eater and a brush application of the appropriate herbicide also are used in the border areas between the garden and the wider plot. And mulch, a hoe, and an edible plant friendly herbicide are used within the garden.

What makes a weed a weed is that a weed is an unplanned plant such as a dandelion. Even a useful plant is a weed if it comes up in the wrong place but most weeds are plants that have no use to humans and interfere in some way with human intentions.

Weeds serve as easily established, easily uprooted ground cover. They provide food, and shelter, for wildlife. They hold banks together, against erosion. They grow in poor soil. They give seasonal color and interest. They engage in photosynthesis. So they take in carbon dioxide from, and add oxygen to, the air. They decompose, and add to soil biomass. When weeds protect from erosion, they help the fish.
