At first glance, it seems that the only way to get rid of goutweed is weeding.
This method is indeed effective, but at the same time it is very energy-consuming.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how else one can overcome the hated goutweed.
According to the expert, the method discussed below will rid your plot of weeds for a long time without any weeding.
First, wait for the first sprouts of goutweed to appear. Then cultivate the area.
To do this, trim the shoots of goutweed, then mulch it. As mulch, you should choose dense dark spunboard or cardboard.
In this case, it is better to give preference to air-impermeable spunboard, which is guaranteed not to allow the goutweed to photosynthesize and “breathe”.
