Categories of Weed

There are two main categories of weed: annuals or perennials.

How Prevent Weed From Growing

Here are some tips on how to prevent weed formation.

• One way to prevent weeds is to leave no room for them to emerge by planting upholstered specimens – plants that create a thick blanket and leave no room for other species. Also, it is inadvisable to water bare soil areas. With drip irrigation, fewer unwanted herbs appear in the area where our crops or garden plants grow.
  
• Another way to prevent weeds is mulching. This consists of covering the soil with mulch where the plants are, to maintain an even soil temperature and discourage weeds from growing. This system also allows for maintaining the humidity of the soil, and when the mulch decomposes it contributes nutrients to the plant.
  
• Before planting or sowing, it is best to remove all the bulbs that are there at that time. If you are going to plant grass, you have to water it, and days later, spray the area with Fiesta Turf Weed Killer. After fifteen days, you'll have to re-treat the grass.
