Getting to the root of the problem
Fed up of buying roundup?
As a gardening professional there are many ways of removing weeds, some more effective than others. 80% of my workload is made up of weed removal (lucky me ;-)). Now most gardeners will just rip or strim the heads off causing them to come back within no time where as I spend a little longer by hand weeding but your garden will be looking great and weed free by the end of it so whats my secret?
A groove knife (link below)
Suitable for most gardeners and super affordable at only a few pounds from any diy store this hand-tool is a very effective and easy to store making it a gardening must have. There is also a long handled version available and Id recommend buying a kneeling pad for comfort as it can get pretty uncomfortable kneeling for long periods as my worn out work jeans will testify!
Why is this magic tool so effective?
It gets in to the nooks and crannys, works in between those hard to reach areas and takes not only the growth out but also the roots meaning you get much longer without those pesky weeds shooting back up and looking unsightly. Weedkiller only kills the immediate growth, not to mention environmental impacts and the danger to our furry friend and wider eco-system.
To summarise this tool is cheap, widely available and works. It may be harder work but if a job worth doing is worth doing properly saving you time and pain in the long run. Link below:
