    Useful wheatgrass

    I knew for a long time that this "friend of the truck-gardener" only hindered vegetables in the garden, but for people it is useful. 6 early summer make of his grass drink. But by autumn the grass is tough and does not fit into processing. Then I collect rhizomes and treat them with aching joints. You can rinse the roots thoroughly, pour boiling water and after a half a day start drinking a little. And you can peel the cleaned roots 20 minutes, pour into the tub and lie down in it. Both it is better to do courses.

    Weed sow throbs with health and people willingly transmit their health. Who does not know this, that nerves do not have enough with him to fight in the garden. And who knows, he makes this infusion: 1 art. spoon leaves on 1 a glass of hot boiling water, leave the mixture in a thermos for the night, take at 1 st. spoon for 20 minutes before eating.

    Nerves calm down, the head does not hurt, immunity gets stronger, colds recede. (I know that some do not tolerate bitter bitterness, in this case, first you need to hold the leaves of the osseous in salt water.) You can drink this infusion and rinse it with your mouth so that the gums do not bleed.

    Weed control is one of the most troublesome activities in the garden. And well, if they only grew on beds, these ubiquitous aggressors also strive to fill the paths!

    We found a simple solution to this problem. On the path between the beds of the stele the old linoleum (after repair) with the wrong side up. Under it and the weeds do not grow, and walking on such a coating is pleasant. In the autumn linoleum is cleaned and rolled up by rolls, we put it in a greenhouse. We use such tracks for several years: conveniently and effectively!

    I want in the near future for the experiment to sprinkle some patch of wheat or oatmeal. I heard, thanks to the gluten contained in it, it prevents the emergence of seeds of weeds! Zinaida V., Kiev

      Gluten is a common complex protein found in barley, rye, and wheat. It does not affect the weeds. The point here, most likely, is that the croup decays for a long time and plays the role of an ordinary mulch that prevents the entry of light and moisture to the soil and thereby really inhibits the growth of weeds. This effect is similar to the use of sawdust, but if, say, a heavy rain passes, the sawdust remains in place, and the groats begin to dissolve, and then the effect will decrease. For a proper result on 1 sq. M. Of soil, you need so much cereal to cover the land completely, i.e. minimum 1-2 kg.

    As we have a large plot (13 acres), it is impossible to weed everything by hand.

    Therefore, the land in the aisles and even the rows between the vegetables (beetroot, late cabbage) before the beginning of fruiting times 2-3 is treated with contact herbicides of selective action - Lontrelom, Sultan (according to the instructions!). They even help from soybean and dandelion. The main thing is to spray in clear, windless weather after the rain or at least slightly shed the area of ​​the watering can before it penetrates into the green, rather than the withered weed.

    Two years ago, along with a hosta bush, a hogweed came to my garden. Besides the fact that he is very large and aggressive, he also “burns” to everything else - such a guest is useless in the garden. I tried to eradicate it with the help of various chemicals, and even used it specially designed to fight this plant. Nothing helped.

    I decided to read different literature and came across one interesting article, in which the author talked just about the fight against cow-weevil. It is necessary only a few times a season to cut off his "head", not giving the opportunity to blossom.

    About 10 years ago, in my front garden, it is not known where this monster came from - meter-sized leaves, higher than the roof of the house (3,5 m).

    The plant threw out a huge umbrella, similar to dill. Passers-by stared, sister, a lover of all sorts of wonders, ran around with a camera. Soon, good people suggested that it was cow-borshevik, even if it was not borsch from it, and that he could survive all around. About the poisonous properties of cow-bream, nothing was said.

    This prospect did not suit me. When the seeds in the umbrella were almost ripe, I, after admiring the miracle giant for the last time, took the kitchen knife and cut off the stem with bare hands about half a meter above the ground. The circumcised umbrella carried to the fire, and the ampoule of the undiluted herbicide was poured into the resulting large hollow tube of the stem. That's all!

    I'll tell you on the example of my experience.

    I got a plot a few years ago, on it the forest raspberry grew thickly (at least a whole hundred weighed). It seems to be good that the dacha already has a delicious and fragrant berry, and I did not lift a finger for this. But in fact, the fruits are hanging, and they can not be reached, because all branches of bushes are densely intertwined with bindweed. And that's what I did. In autumn she dug 20 raspberry bushes, washed the roots from the ground so that they could see better the white filaments of bindweed, and then easily chose everything.

    And the raspberries were transplanted to another, clean place. The remaining bushes were cut to the ground and all the former raspberries were thrown with a continuous layer of chicken manure (well, near the poultry farm), and peat laid on top of it. So everything remained for the winter. In spring, raspberries no longer rose.

    Somewhere a dandelion began to break through, a quinoa appeared - I all blurted out. In the beginning of summer, a weak bindweed began to hatch, then it began to gain strength, and by August it had already covered with solid green carpet the land of the former raspberry.

    But I already knew what to do by then. Here is my secret. At the end of summer, the bindweed begins to store up its reserves for the winter, and its roots actively absorb nutrients. And here it is necessary to feed him with a herbicide together with them! Of course, the use of such a serious chemistry, as they say, is not good, but two things have to do with this. The first is the uncompromising and lifeless nature of the bindweed.
    In the end, what's more dear to you: free from a site that ruins all living weeds or a principled position in the matter of ecology?
    The second is the short-term nature of the use of the herbicide: only once (a bindweed during preparation for wintering will be enough). But after a week, the tops of the bindweed begin to turn yellow, and then the whole plant dries forever.
    Here one condition: the weed should be given complete freedom of growth of the green mass, from the shoot to the processing itself.
    I for this purpose on other ridges about shoots stuck in meter sticks that convolvulus curled upwards. And she took care of him, took care. And then in August she fed herbicide. And completely got rid of the unwanted neighbor.

    How to take out horsetail
    I want to answer the reader who asked about this invader. The horsetail got its name not from the word "tail", but from the word "grab", which suits him best.
    Weed prefers acidic soil. Make sure that this is so: its neighbors will be clover, coltsfoot, plantain, mint - they are also lovers of sour. All that’s left is small: any alkali - slaked lime and dolomite flour, which should be added only in the fall, is suitable, since plants after taking such a medicine do not absorb phosphorus well, and by spring the chemical processes in the soil will come to equilibrium.
    Ash is also helping. The horsetail does not like horsetail, white mustard, rapeseed, winter rye.

    We, in Russia, quinoa weed, but in the countries of Western Europe and North America it has long been grown as a healthy, tasty, nutritious salad plant. This refers to a cultivated form - garden quinoa, or vegetable.
    Quinoa contains a lot of protein and plant fiber, vitamins and minerals. For centuries, zealous, prosperous peasants added quinoa to bread. And quinoa is a well-known medicinal plant.
    In our country there are about 20 species of swans, and many of them have healing powers. Constipation, hemorrhoids, throat diseases
    and lungs - all this and much more can be cured with the help of a quinoa.
    It is best to eat quinoa in salads - chopped, slightly lettuce and mixed with any ingredients (onions, eggs, nettles, red beets, cucumbers, tomatoes).
    Compress of steamed leaves will help with joint pain (you need to put the leaves on a sore spot, then wrap it well and leave a compress for the night). Decoction of the stems and leaves (1 st.l for a glass of boiling water, to drink 3 once a day for a third of the glass) will heal with stomatitis, thrush. Juice will relieve constipation and worms.

    At the dachas one of the most malicious weeds is wheat grass. You won’t be aware of it by the weeds - even a tiny piece of rhizome left in the ground can give life to a new plant that will instantly capture nearby territory.
    In one of the comments, I shared the experience of weed suppression by rye crops. This helps, but does not lead to a final victory. Not so long ago I discovered that the only thing that is really afraid of wheat grass is the well-known dahlia flower.
    It is enough to plant these plants where the wheatgrass is raging, and it will die. If you do not achieve the desired result in one season, plant dahlias for the next year. And the grass will disappear forever!
    You can plant flowers along the fence, and then the uninvited guest will not get to you from the neighbors.

    Star, as they call it, if it appeared on the site, then hold on! But removing the lice from the beds will be much easier if you perceive the process as harvesting. After all, it is not only a weed, but also a most valuable medicinal plant.
    Tear out the lobster must necessarily with the root, grabbing more firmly at the very ground. After this, it is good to dry the plant in a dry place, fold it in tissue bags and use as needed.
    In folk medicine, wood lice are used to treat asthma, hemorrhoids, diarrhea, and eye diseases. Herbal baths are very good for skin diseases. Everything is very simple here. Finely chopped greens of woodlice are steamed with boiling water and insist 28 minutes. (cover is not recommended!). Norm - 1 tbsp. l in a glass of boiling water. For the bath, 5 glasses of infusion are enough. Too long to take a bath should not be enough 15 minutes.
    The grass left after steaming is recommended to be used for compresses in cases of joint and muscular apparatus diseases, cracks and traumas on the heels.

    On my site quinoa stubbornly breaks through. I struggled with this weed all summer - carefully weeded and sent it to a compost heap. Then she accidentally found out that quinoa, it turns out, is a useful plant for beauty. From ancient times, Slavic beauties used this herb, making infusions for skin rejuvenation. Now, when I weed a quinoa, I don’t throw away its leaves - I dry it for the winter. With dried grass, as I found out, the effect is more noticeable.
    For a mask (for any skin type) 1 tsp. dry leaves of quinoa need to pour 1 / 3 a glass of boiling water. Hold the lid for half an hour. Add in infusion of 3-4 art. l. of fat milk, moisten the resulting mixture with a napkin and apply on face for 20 min. After that, wash with warm water. If it is more convenient to use a thick mask, add sour cream and oatmeal to the infusion. With these ingredients, the mask will become even more nutritious and perfectly suited for dry skin.
    The most interesting thing is that the decorative quinoa has no useful properties. So look for a real fierce weed!

    Most summer residents, instead of struggling with the grasshopper, only help him grow more and more
    Plots where this weed reigns, they start digging with a shovel. A pyrea only this and you need-truncated roots grow well, and its nests become only more powerful.
    On the advice of my grandmother, I armed myself with pitchforks and pulled out the roots of wheat grass. With the help of the pitchfork, he gradually cleared the area from the realm of the malignant weed, and dried his rhizomes and sent them to the compost pile.
    I should note that it is necessary to dig a grasshopper before blooming! If he has time to bloom and there will be seeds, it will be necessary to struggle with it for a very long time.

    We often meet a powerful plant - hogweed. Those who have already tried to tear it down or cut it down know that it is extremely dangerous. Juice, getting on the skin, makes it especially sensitive to the effects of sunlight, as a result, burns remain on it and blisters form. I advise you to bypass this plant, but if juice has got in, immediately cover this place with clothing, run home and wash it well with soap twice. Try not to appear in the sun. Immediately apply an anti-burn agent to the wound.

    I have 18 years of seniority. Worked with the land from scratch. Today I can share my experience. For example, what to do with weeds that are already with seeds, or whose roots do not rot, are not suitable for composting (horsetail, dandelion, dull, etc.). First they were dried and burned, and an ashes solution fed the garden. A couple of years ago 5 began to fill these weeds with a can or bucket with a lid half and pour boiling water. Arguing: helping infusions of herbs fight people with weakness and ailments - it means that plants will benefit. The next day, I strain the infusion through a colander, dilute it with water (1: 10) and treat me with curative "tea" vegetables and flowers, fruit trees and berry bushes. And so 2-3 times per season. And the used grass is laid out under bushes of raspberries, black and red currants, sometimes I add to compost.

    Tell me, is there any chemical for combating weeds or just weeding? But after all, many weeds have very long roots that can not be removed. From someone I heard that you can kill a weed with soda, if you sprinkle it with a stem and ground it around the stalk, so that soda gets on the roots. Is it so?

      Weeds are a big problem if you do not deal with them regularly. And here it is necessary to understand what specific weeds we are dealing with. This is important because strategies to control different groups of weeds are different. There are annual, cereal or broadleaf weeds. Cereals are various millet, cockerel millet, bristles, and broadleaf - colza, quinoa, shiritsa, purslane. It is easiest to deal with these weeds by regular loosening of the soil from early spring after every rain or watering. This is necessary when the weeds have just sprouted and are, as experts say, in the “white thread” phase.
      Chemicals, called herbicides, are not suitable for controlling weeds against these weeds. This is due to their ability to germinate unevenly both during the season and for many years. Once made "stock" of seeds will germinate until 10 years or more.
      A large group is represented by perennial weeds, which can also be grasses, for example wheatgrass, or broadleaf, like convolvulus, water pepper, kirkazon, chamomile, sow. Perennial weeds have adapted to multiply not only by seeds, but also vegetatively, that is, pieces of root or stem. When weeding, they get the opportunity not to cut, but increase their numbers. To combat perennial weeds apply other strategies.
      You can leave part of the plot under the black steam and regularly remove the germinating weeds. Gradually, the supply of nutrients in the roots and underground shoots is depleted, and the weeds die. On steam areas, the use of herbicides of continuous action, such as Roundup, Glyphos, is possible. Tornado.
      Treatment with these drugs should be carried out on a well developed leaf surface through which the drug enters the root and kills the weed. From the treatment to the death of the weeds passes a certain time, which depends on the temperature, the power of the plant and the concentration of the drug.
      It is best to carry out the treatment closer to the autumn, when the weed leaves an outflow of substitutes from the leaves to the roots, and not to flowers or new shoots. Among the herbicides there are also selective drugs that are applied strictly on certain cultures for which they are not toxic. Most of these drugs are not recommended for use in household plots because of the difficulty in meeting the established regulations for use and the danger to neighboring cultures. Among the permissible is Lazurite, which can be used on potatoes and tomatoes. Lontrell on strawberries.
      There is a large group of anti-smear herbicides, for example Fusilad, Zellec. Herbicides are still poisons, and their use on household plots is in principle undesirable, this is an extreme measure, and the plot is not too large to water them with poisons, which we are already adding in abundance.

        I also have a small plot, I used to dig up the convolvus five times before, but all was unsuccessful. And now I destroyed it all for two years. In the store bought a root eliminator. In early spring, when the land is still black and nothing has been sown in many beds, and the "birch" has already got out and only two leaves on it, I deeply fore it with a root crop with a clod of earth and throw this sprout. And everything, he is already dead, will not give off his descendants.
        But if at least 1 mm of the tail remains under the ground, this place will be "birch" all summer long. Therefore, it is necessary to poddevat this device deeply and not to allow the appearance of a third leaflet.
        Many gardeners recommend adding salt during watering. Even a little, but over the years salt accumulates in the earth, and this, in my opinion, is harmful. I will get rid of horseradish, burdock, lilac, creeping cherry neighbors from neighbors. I cut the root of burdock in the ground with a shovel, I pour on 1 -2 st. l. salt and cover the ground.

    In June, not only decorative plants actively grow, but also weeds grow, annual weeds grow, grow
    perennial from the remains of rhizomes. Do not start this process - start weeding as soon as they begin to appear from the ground. Make sure that dandelion, wood lice, bluegrass, and other species that bloom in June do not bloom, as their seeds will quickly spread throughout the district.

    If the site is heavily clogged with weeds, especially with pine, which you can not cope with in the usual ways, I advise you to do the following.
    Since the abundance of weeds creates a dense sod, then there is no point in digging it. It will be more correct to cut the turf into squares with sides about 25 cm, pick up each with pitchfork and, shaking off the ground, put in a black plastic bag for garbage, best of 60 L and more. But the bag should be filled in the place where it will stand for at least a year.
    The area from where the turf was removed, it is necessary to dig, selecting the remaining roots of weed plants. Practice shows that there will not be very many of them. They should also be put in a bag.
    When this container is full, it must be carefully sealed. After all, the roots of plants lose their viability and begin to rot only in the absence of air and light. The best option is to shift the edges of the bag several times and seal with tape. If you do not fill the bag to the brim, then you can simply tie it.
    After about a year you will get a ripe mature compost, and all the roots will completely rot.

Very quickly began to capture more and more territory. Last year I completely fulfilled it, but this year again I noticed it in one place.

      In our holiday village, a whole war broke out with a weed with the beautiful name "Ambrosia" (in mythology - "food of the gods"). We plowed the most affected areas with the whole world and planted alfalfa to suppress ragweed. Where weed was noticed in insignificant quantities, they necessarily pulled it out with the root. Where it was difficult to manually weed out, mowed it in several steps, and before the formation of seeds, during the period of budding. Ambrosia is such that even immature seeds can germinate. I can say that all these measures gave a good result: in some places ragweed is still breaking through, but now there is no global problem in our village.

    Here, let's say, a mocrica (star) and a waterbranded gardener. Regular use of them contributes to the prolongation of youth, strengthening the nervous and cardiovascular systems, increasing skin elasticity, normalizing blood pressure.
    Dandelion and plantain stimulate appetite, improve the work of the gastrointestinal tract, have choleretic and anti-inflammatory effect.
    Nettle on its nutritional value is close to leguminous herbs, it is a source of calcium for the body. Contains powerful antioxidants, improves blood quality, prevents the appearance of gray hair.
    Yarutka is so rich in vitamin C that before it was used to prevent scurvy. It has a hemostatic and diuretic effect, strengthens the male potency.
    During the war, many people died of starvation through death. In Europe, and today it is considered a popular green salad. It's called white spinach. European people eat and burdock leaves.
    Motherwort helps with insomnia, soothes. All these herbs are a storehouse of vitamins and minerals, strengthen immunity. I like to add them fresh in salads, I make sandwiches with them, put them in soups, prepare pastas, cocktails, decoctions from them. I'm sure, with my health and longevity (and I'm already 85 years old), I owe much to weeds!

    In the country I do not practice weeding. Instead, I treat the plot from weeds using fire.
    Later in the autumn, after harvesting, I dig around the perimeter of the garden so that the flame does not spread to the fence, and I set fire to all the vegetation remaining in the garden. It burns together with the seeds that have fallen. Ash from it serves as fertilizer.
    In early spring, it is not difficult to destroy the shoots of weeds soldering
    lamp, burning them with a gliding flames. So it is possible to process even those beds where they are sown, but green and carrots have not yet risen. Only the flame of the lamp must be moved very quickly, without stopping in place, so as not to damage the seeds in the ground.
    And, of course, you must be careful with open fire - it can become a source of fire.

    Stranded from the beds of grass, I turn into a fertilizer, a nutrient composition close to compost. The fertilizer is made easy. A barrel (200 L) is installed in the sun, stuffed with vegetation from the garden and filled with water. Add a couple of shovels to the manure or 2 art. l. urea. Cover the container with a lid and leave it for 2-3 weeks. Than in the street it is warmer, the fermentation goes faster. Then drain the liquid, dilute it with water (1: 2) and apply for garden planting after watering for 0,5-1 l per each bush. And I use the herbal mass from the barrel as mulch.

    sometimes you have to go through many failures. I believe that negative experiences should also be shared, so that others learn from our mistakes.
    Several years ago I purchased a plant called miscanthus, or fan. The advertisement said that this is a perennial plant that does not require special care, and that by the autumn it forms silver whisks that will adorn any winter bouquet.
    Indeed, the fan has very elegant, beautiful panicles, which are in the bouquet are not one year. But the advertiser did not mention that this plant has a very strongly branching and creeping rhizome. This plant, in my opinion, is more dangerous than wheat grass. A rather thick rhizome lies deep and branched briskly. Planting miscanthus must be limited to any kind of screen. But I did not know this, and soon a newcomer in the garden became a natural disaster for me. He quickly took possession of the whole flower bed with lilies, and I noticed with horror that the fan began to make its way to the neighbors.
    From this experience, I concluded: before you buy an unfamiliar plant, you need to study its biological features in detail, and only then to plant it on your site.

    How to simultaneously warm the soil after the winter, feed it with wood ash, and also get rid of pests and weeds? Do you think it's impossible? Is quite real!
    In the early spring, I traditionally spend in the garden pruning and delete all the sick, weak and broken branches. All this I spread in the garden in a heap and set fire to it. The fire warms the earth and destroys the seeds and surface roots of the weeds. In addition, with such a fire treatment, spores of many dangerous diseases and harmful insects living in the upper layer of the soil die. True, along with pests, useful microorganisms are also destroyed. Therefore, it is not necessary to get carried away with this method of soil disinfection.
    Interestingly, turnip is a great growth in "ashes". From the place where the fire was burning, after its fading, I shovel away some of the ashes. I bring in a little bit of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, dig over, form a garden. At the end of April, under the shelter, I plant my turnips, I sprinkle a bed of ash laid on top. It will save cruciferous shoots from fleas and give plants additional nutrition.

      I do not advise planting corn; in the Moscow Region it will not grow enough to clog weeds. To refine the loam, I propose the following technique. In the spring, mow the grass, plow the plot, select all the large rhizomes, and, without letting the earth dry, plant potatoes on it - into the holes every 70 cm. During the summer, spud twice, no more. Weeds that appear in the aisles are knocked down by a rake with the back side, and prevent them from growing.
      After harvesting potatoes on the site, sow winter rye, wheat - any crops. The next year, in May, mow the rye (by that time it will grow by 20-30 cm), and dig the site. Now you can make beds, plant vegetables, sow carrots, dill, and so on. And after a year you can plant shrubs.
      Thanks to the potato culture of potatoes, the amount of weeds in a year or two will decrease by 2-3 times. Rye, wheat and other siderates remain in the soil after digging and become food for microorganisms, which, in turn, feed plants, improve the soil, make it more friable. It accumulates humus.

    Suppress Convolvulus
    Field bindweed is a well-known weed that is found in almost every garden and orchard.
    In the spring, as soon as the snow and the sun warms, the convolvulus begins to grow and cover the soil, preventing the germination of cultivated plants. Gradually he braids the neighbors so much that they can die. Therefore, it is important to start combating the bindweed as early as possible.
    Timely weeding is of great importance, however, it is impossible to completely destroy the weed in this way. Its root system penetrates to a depth of 6 m, and it is not afraid of either frost or drought. Therefore, those areas where the bindweed grows especially strongly, in autumn and early spring, it is necessary to dig up the pitchfork as deep as possible and carefully select all the roots. When digging, you should not use a shovel - excising the root, you will thereby spread the plant.
    Still I want to advise the effective method. Fly with the overgrown weed cover with a black film and press down in several places with stones. In the absence of sunlight, the weed can not develop. So that the land does not stand idly by, I make a cross-shaped cut in the film and sow pumpkins. Pumpkin whips grow beautifully!

    How to cheat weeds
    I think that most gardeners faced the fact that carrots, beets, beans, peas and other planted crops had not yet risen, and the weeds in the beds had already dispersed violent color. If you try to weed them during this period, you can severely damage the seedlings, and then nothing really will grow. But I know how to trick the weeds.
    As soon as the snow comes down, until the land is dry, I cover all my beds with a plastic wrap. The bright spring sun warms up from above, the moisture evaporates from below, the earth warms up instantly, an excellent microclimate is created for the rapid growth of all weeds. After a week or two, the film needs to be removed, and all the weeds that have emerged are weeded out. After such treatment, the beds are clean for about a month, and this time is enough to ensure that the seedlings have quietly ascended, without wasting their energy to control the weeds.
    In addition, thanks to the film, the soil on the beds is warming up more quickly, and during weeding I at the same time loosen the ground before sowing, so that the crop plants rise and develop quickly.
