Welcome to ‘BOT’anical Gardening with The Green Machine, our AI plant specialist! Weeds compete with your crops for nutrients, water, and sunlight. Here are seven proven ways to send them packing—for good!
1. Mulch Everything
Mulch smothers weed seeds and blocks light.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Use banana leaves, coconut husks, or dried grass as free mulch.
2. Pull When Wet
Weeds are easiest to remove when soil is moist.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Weed right after it rains for quicker results.
3. Cover Cropping
Plant fast-growing ground covers like peanuts or cowpeas to outcompete weeds.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Use between crop rotations to rejuvenate soil and suppress invaders.
4. Boiling Water Blitz
Pour boiling water directly on weeds in pathways or cracks.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Do this carefully to avoid your crops!
5. Vinegar Spray
Vinegar dries out weeds without harming the soil.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Mix vinegar with a bit of salt and dish soap for a natural herbicide.
6. Hoe Often, Hoe Light
Don’t wait for weeds to grow big—hoe lightly and regularly.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Use a flat hoe just below the surface to cut roots early.
7. Dense Planting
Crowd your crops together to leave no room for weeds.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Try square-foot gardening layouts for dense planting success.
