7. Controlling Weeds Naturally

Weed early and often. And once your vegetables start growing, mulch your plants heavily to keep the weeds out. Do not let your garden get invade with weeds or you will lose control.

Put down newspaper around plants before you put down mulch. The newspaper will make sure weeds and grass can’t come up.

Vinegar is a great weed killer than the majority of products, but do not spray it on your vegetable plants because it will ruin them, too. If you have weeds or grass coming up in cracks in cement, this is an ideal place to use vinegar, which will kill the weeds and grass and prevent them from coming back any time soon.

If you’re using a string trimmer to cut weeds, spray the string on the weed-eater with vegetable cooking oil and you won’t have problems with your string getting stuck or tangled.
