Needing some advice on how to deal with the weed problem in this area please. Is there an easier way to kill them then just weed killer pump. And would mulching the ground after removing them all would that be the best way to stop them from coming back
thank you ! ☺️
Hi @coreyw,
Spraying weed killer would likely be the easiest way to kill the plants. You might like to get in there with a brushcutter or mower and cut them all down to the soil before immediately applying the weedkiller. The only other option for removal I could think of would be a rotary tiller or by hand.
Mulching in a thick layer would help suppress weeds. However, you might like to cover the area with black plastic for several months to try and kill off any remaining weeds. Adding weed matting under your mulch would add an extra layer of prevention.
Remember your PPE when spraying the weedkiller including face mask, safety glasses, gloves, long-sleeved shirt and trousers.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
