The fight against perennial weeds
Under bushes and trees tend to settle perennial weeds growing rapidly via rhizomes (such as goutweed, wheatgrass and Glechoma hederacea); here you can meet and weeds with deep roots such as stinging nettle. If the roots of these plants will intertwine with the roots of trees and bushes, then to deal with them would be futile. The best preventative measure - careful weeding plot before planting the bush and the complete removal of the roots of the weed out of the ground. But one hundred percent success does not guarantee, and such cleaning: most likely, the next year there will be weeds again.
careful weeding
Weeding and remains the most effective means of weed control to this day. Deal with it better in the spring, in a dry, sunny day, when extracted from the ground plants wilt rapidly. Thoroughly but gently treat hoe the soil under trees and shrubs.
Remove all weeds from the roots as possible the deeper soil layers. After a couple of weeks, check for new weeds and remove any newly emerging plants grew. Weeding, however, it is a tedious task, and get rid of with the help of goutweed and some other resistant weeds - it is almost hopeless. In addition, the crop plants with shallow root
the system can not tolerate continuous tillage. In this case it is necessary to resort to the other, but not chemical, methods of weed control.
Weeds beneath the mulch
The weed control helps to mulch. First of all, it shows where weeding shrubs can damage the root system, which has already penetrated deep into the roots of weeds.

Mulch from the bark absorbs nitrogen from the soil and gives her the tannic acid, and therefore under the young and newly planted shrubs should not use it. Adults same bushes it will not damage, and possible lack of nitrogen (leaf yellowing and deterioration of growth) can be compensated for fertilization. Herbal baby in this case for mulching .maloprigodna. Give her first fade, or a layer of mulch will attract slugs and snails.
Instead of organic mulch, which, at first, with time pereprevaet and needs to be replaced, and secondly, not always suppressed the growth of weeds, the ground can be coated with various materials that kill weeds still embryos. For this purpose, suitable laid out in several layers of newspaper, cardboard or black plastic sheeting. The principle of operation of all these materials the same: weeds beneath them do not get no light, no air, and eventually die. Not the slightest chance of development are not here and weed seeds.
Under plant shrubs can also shade-covering plants with beautiful foliage, e.g. temnolistnye variety zhivuchka or dead nettle (white deadnettle). When these plants are tightened soil solid dense carpet, weeds can not compete with them.
Weeds can be controlled in a different way - sgest them. Goutweed, for example, often used in soups and salads, as spinach. Similarly, you can deal with Boudreau, nettles and Chistyakov. Wheatgrass and mother and stepmother have long been used as medicinal plants.
