Garden Repeated application of systemic weedkiller may be needed for pernicious weeds like nettles Green alkanet Some weeds have such deep roots that they are almost impossible to dig out. Examples include bindweed, ground elder, horsetail, dandelion and will also improve the soil’s structure – the worms and microorganisms will cultivate the soil for you. Burning – there are special gardening blow torches available that will burn off the top growth, but this can be a haphazard and laborious task if the weeds are among other plants, or there are lots of them. Contact weedkiller – these types of weedkiller act like a chemical hoe and will kill off the top growth, so are only effective for annual weeds. Be careful and only use in very still conditions, so that the spray doesn’t drift onto your precious plants. Weedkillers can be harmful to wildlife, especially residual weed treatments that persist in the soil for up to six months or more. Perennial weeds set seed and also replicate asexually, which means that they can re-grow from the tiniest piece of root that may have been left in the soil. Some, like couch grass and creeping buttercup send out runners near the soil’s surface, others have such deep roots that they are almost impossible to dig out. Examples include bindweed, ground elder, horsetail, dandelion, dock, couch. Controlling perennial weeds Perennial weeds do not seed around quite as quickly as the annuals, but they make up for this with toughness and tenacity and are not as easy to dig out as the annuals. The roots of horsetail, for instance, have been known to grow several metres down into the ground, so a combination of methods may be required for some of the more pernicious perennials. Removal by hand – it is not enough to just hoe off the top growth of perennial weeds, as they will just grow back. Digging out the roots of weeds like bindweed, couch grass and ground elder can seem like an impossible task, but persistence (sometimes over many years) does eventually pay off. Weed membrane (or a covering of light excluding black plastic) pegged down over the infested area will eventually starve out perennial weeds, but the barrier may have to be in place for several seasons. Using weed membrane (with a cosmetic cover of mulch) can be effective in low maintenance or shrub borders, where plants remain in permanent positions. Systemic weedkiller – contains glyphosate and is absorbed by plant leaves and taken down to the roots so that the whole plant is eventually destroyed. Repeated application may be needed for pernicious weeds like nettles and brambles. Use with care (there is some controversy on the use of glyphosate and the environment/human health at the moment). Gel applicators can be used to paint individual leaves where weeds are growing among cultivated plants and there are specialised herbicides available for eradicating broad-leaved weeds in lawns. Monstrous invaders Japanese knotweed is in a category all of its own, because it is becoming a huge problem. Introduced by the Victorians as an ornamental plant, it was found originally on Mount Fuji, where it is able to withstand the inhospitable environment of the volcanic slopes. This is partly why it is so invasive here, as even the worst of garden soil is very welcoming by comparison. It is almost impossible to eradicate – to the extent that it has caused problems to homeowners 147 wealdentimes.co.uk
