5 Reasons Why Weeds Affect Your Plants And Your Health!

5. Hoe your own row

Hoeing is important for the health of your lawn. It is also a means to eradicate unwanted weeds and halt their growth.

You should follow some rules when hoeing to do it more effectively.

• Do it early as soon as you see weeds growing. Don’t wait until they grow longer.
• Hoe before watering so that the soil will be dry to easily target weeds.
• Cut the weeds’ stems just beneath the soil. Sweep your hoe in that upper layer of the soil to remove the tops of the weeds and prevent their growth in the future.
• Clean the blade of your hoe regularly and sharpen it with a metal file or a sharpening stone to ensure its effectiveness in weed cutting.
