Eco‑friendly hacks for a weed-free, vibrant lawn
Do you want a lawn that impresses with its lush greenery and is free of weeds? There is a cost-effective product that will keep your grass healthy and vibrant, transforming your garden into a beautiful green carpet. Every gardening enthusiast should be aware of these tips.
People living in detached houses or those who have garden plots often wonder how to maintain a green and lush lawn without weeds and persistent pests. Fortunately, there are many simple and affordable ways to achieve a beautiful lawn.
An expert from a gardening store highlighted that there are several inexpensive and widely available products that can aid in lawn care.
Give up expensive fertilisers
One of the recommended, yet budget-friendly solutions is Epsom salt. It functions in a similar way to many costly fertilisers, as it contains the right amount of magnesium, which speeds up seed germination and supports chlorophyll production.
Epsom salt also contains nitrogen and phosphorus. To prepare the solution, add two teaspoons of salt to 4.5 litres of water, mix well, and then pour it into a spray bottle. Once a month, spray the lawn with this solution, and weeds will no longer appear.
Another way to maintain a beautiful lawn is by using cinnamon—simply sprinkle it on the grass and gently mix it with the soil. This spice has antifungal properties, preventing the spread of diseases. Additionally, cinnamon removes excess moisture and mould. It is also useful when moles appear in the garden.
How to get rid of weeds from the lawn?
Wondering how to tackle weeds? It's worth considering well-known vinegar. Not only does it handle limescale deposits, help with stain removal from clothes, or eliminate unpleasant odours from the washing machine—it turns out it works equally well in the garden.
If weeds appear in the garden that are particularly difficult to remove, simply pour vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it directly on the weeds. Repeat the treatment as new unwanted plants appear.
And how do you remove moss from the lawn? If you're eager to get rid of it quickly, the most effective method is a homemade spray, which you prepare from three tablespoons of mild washing-up liquid and 4.5 litres of water. Spray the moss with the prepared mixture, and after 24 hours, when it turns brown or yellow, remove it.
