How to get rid of dreams on the site

Why snot appears on the site and why remove it

Snotweed is an aggressive weed that can grow quickly and capture territory. It forms a powerful horizontal root system, which develops intensively and suppresses other plants. It mainly grows in the shade and on moist soils.

The gout reproduces by shoots on the roots, so it can be brought into your garden with soil or compost. Even a small piece of root in the substrate is enough for the weed to start growing and begin to develop new territories. And the plant also spreads by seeds after the start of flowering around the middle of summer. Therefore, if the site is located near a forest or next to an untidy or abandoned backyard area, the dream will surely dissipate in your garden.

Therefore, it is important to get rid of the leaves and roots of goutweed in time, preventing it from blooming and setting seeds. Otherwise, at best, the site will look untidy, and at worst, cultivated plants will not withstand competition with an aggressive weed and wither.

How to get rid of sleepweed on the site manually

This is a very time consuming, but perhaps the most effective and safest way to drive out the weed. Arm yourself with a garden pitchfork and use them to dig up the area where the sleepy has settled. This should be done gradually: dig up the soil, remove all the roots by hand, and so move step by step throughout the overgrown area.

True, there are places where digging the soil will not work. For example, goutweed can grow through other plants whose roots are easily damaged when the underground part of the weed is removed. In this case, make it a rule to regularly cut off the leaves and stems of goutweed, trying to capture the growth point, which is located in the soil at a depth of 1–2 cm. Do not let the pest build up the green mass and pull out the barely hatched sprouts. Rhizomes of goutweed over and over again will spend energy on education shootswhich will gradually lead to their exhaustion and death.

Also, instead of digging and manually removing the roots, you can mow at the very base. For the best effect, the procedure should be carried out at least 2-3 times a month.

Rhizomes of goutweed should be thrown into the trash or burned. The same must be done with the aerial part of the weed, if it has already bloomed. Thus, you will not contribute to the reproduction of unwanted plants on the site. But the non-flowering young tops of the gout can be safely sent to compost pit.

How to get rid of sleepiness on the site with the help of covering material

Snotlout, like any other plant, needs light and moisture. If we deprive the weed of these important conditions, the rhizomes will gradually be depleted and die.

To combat sleepiness, a dense dark film, agrotextile, roofing material - any materials that will not let light and water through will come in handy. Choose one and spread it out over the overgrown area. Rocks or other heavy objects can be placed on top to keep the shelter firmly on the ground. Metal staples or dowels for fastening heat-insulating materials are also suitable.

Shelter you need to leave it for the whole season, winter and remove it only in the spring of next year.

How to get rid of sleepiness on the site with the help of special preparations

The use of herbicides is an effective, but at the same time very aggressive method of weed control. You should not use them where gout grows near cultivated plants. The drug in this case can kill not only the pest, but everything that is in its neighborhood. Special products can be safely sprayed on lawns and garden paths. And some preparations - even in the beds, a few weeks before planting vegetables and flowers.

So, "Roundup", "Tornado", "Agrokiller" will help get rid of sleepiness. Usually, the principle of action of different means is similar: you need to prepare a solution and spray it with weed tops. Over time, the active substance will penetrate from the stems and leaves into the roots and destroy the weed. The specific timing, method of application and precautions when working with the herbicide depend on the agent and manufacturer, so carefully read the instructions before the procedure.
