Many new gardeners wonder on the best methods to kill herbs in their gardens. The weeds should never be bothering because there is plenty of what to use to kill weeds that attacks the gardens.
One of the cheaper and safe methods to use to kill a plant in the farm includes pulling the unwanted plants by hand. Though it is time consuming the advantage is that it is not a chemical that may affect you in the food chain. Another benefit is that you remove the herbs with the roots, so chance of it growing again is eliminated. You can also remove them as they develop so you do not have to wait they mature before you pull them off the garden.
Pulling off the herbs is very efficient if the area, you are working on, is not as big and if you are doing the weeding personally. However, you can also employ individuals who would help with the removing of unwanted plants. Pouring hot water to the weeds is another good way to kill them if you prefer organic weeding exclusively. They have the effect of destroying the seeds that are yet to grow too.
One disadvantage is that you must be extra vigilant so as not to burn both your crops and unwanted plants because they would all die. Soapy water is also a good plant killer, it is effective during hot and dry seasons and always use spray bottles when spraying. Another exquisite method is by the spraying alcohol and concentrated vinegar to the herbs. As earlier stated, always do it carefully not to kill the other crops.

The herbicide does not also kill grass. For those who are not interested in organic ways to keep unwanted plants from encroaching the farm. Chemicals such as Ortho Weed-B- Gon and Roundup are the popular for removing stubborn plants. They can kill mature attacking plants very fast, and they keep even prevent the herbs cycle for several months.
Removing of weeds is important because it affects the farm production in the long run. However, ensure you follow directions carefully, and you do not over do it. Be careful also to keep the herbicides far from where pets and children can access to them.
There are other ways of killing these stubborn plants such as mulching. The whole essence is to prevent sunlight from reaching them, and therefore they die a natural death.
