For surface weeds, hand-pulling is effective and immediate.
Maintain your lawn at a height of approximately 7.5 to 8 cm to naturally suppress weed growth.
Consider using other natural methods like boiling water, which is effective at killing weeds and their roots. Pour boiling water directly onto weeds, using a kettle for precision.
FAQs
