Getting Rid of Weeds
Getting Rid of Weeds - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. At home, take a patch, do not try and swallow the whole thing at one time, make sure you water it in well, so those weeds are nice and wet, they are wet, and if you are doing it when you are supposed to do it, when they are small, you can use a hula hoop. Or you can sit down there, and if it were me I would be sitting down there with a glass of iced tea or maybe this late in the evening a glass of wine. If it is hot where you live, do your garden work early in the morning or late in the evening when it cools off. A lot more fun that way, nobody likes to garden out where its hot. Anyway, just sit down and with a little hula hoop or with bare gloves on your hands, or whatever, and pull out and get rid of those weeds and get rid of the roots too, shake them off, and throw them away. It is so wonderful, you can sit there and dream, bring some music out, you can meditate, because it is one of those sort of mindless jobs. Now, supposing we did not do that. Of course you did not do that, you chose to do something else besides do your garden. So now the weeds are this tall, now we have another problem, now it takes real backbreaking work to pull them up or so on. If you have got an area without any plants you can use any of those products like round-Up and they are really very low toxicity, spray them, but remember anything you touch with Round-Up is going to die. So if the Round-Up drifts over to this lovely plant, Round-Up does not know the difference between this lovely impatiens and the ugly weed. So we always do that when there is no wind, and we are always very careful with these sprays. Always look at the directions, wear gloves, follow the directions so you are safe.
