As the winter chill sets in, weed control hardly seems like a top priority for gardeners. Yet, weeds keep thriving regardless of the season - buttercups and dandelions take charge during gentler weather, while hardier greens play their part in colder months. Renowned for their prowess to grow swiftly and reproduce at a remarkable rate, tackling weeds is far from a cakewalk, particularly when they lodge themselves between patios and paving stones.
Looking to banish these unwelcome guests naturally? Rowan Cripps, director of Infinite Paving, suggests top tactics to reclaim your pristine paving. Rowan warns: "Weeds are undoubtedly the biggest nuisances in your outdoor area. There is nothing worse than having a brand new, beautiful paving installed for it to become infested by eyesores such as weeds.
"If left for too long they will spread their seeds and spread throughout your paving even more." He emphasizes the urgency: "For this reason, it is super important to get rid of these pesky weeds before they spread and become far more difficult to contain. There are a huge number of ways to effectively get rid of weeds and also many ways of preventing them from ever coming back.".
According to Rowan, yanking weeds out is the "easiest and most cost-effective way to eradicate weeds" from between those paving slabs, reports the Express. He stands firm: "While this is very simple, it is also extremely effective. It is actually the most effective way of making sure that they do not come back.".
