At this time, you can carry out another watering with a urea solution or other mineral fertilizer. This process will last at least two months.
But sometimes there is no time for this and you need to quickly start planting various crops. In this case, you should move on to special means called herbicides. True, such pleasure may not be cheap. In addition, such chemicals spoil the composition of the soil, reducing fertility.

You can protect a flower garden from rotting using a regular metal plate. It is simply dug into the soil around the flower bed or plants. This will protect the flowerbed from the growth of rhizomes underground. But, if the tree grows very close to a flower bed, then the plant can penetrate with the help of seeds.
Mulching can help to some extent in the fight against weeds. To do this, the entire above-ground part of the weed should be mowed, and then hay or straw should be placed on the surface of the soil. Additionally, you can cover the area with dark material. After 7 days, the covering material is replaced with cardboard, and a layer of soil is poured on top. If flowers get under the covering material along with the drippings, then holes should be made in the places where they grow. Thus, the rhizomes of perennials will receive the necessary moisture.
You can also pick or mow down all the leaves and stems of the weed every week.In this case, most of the plants will die or weaken. This is a very labor-intensive process. If you leave the plants untouched for several weeks, they will spread throughout the flowerbed again.
Some gardeners also use herbicides in flower beds to destroy the borer. Only in this case you need to be very careful, as you can harm the flowers. In this case, herbicides are applied topically to the leaves and tops of the tree. You can use a brush for this.

For the next method, you should prepare a black film. The area is covered with it immediately after digging the soil in the spring. The soil should remain in this form until the seedlings or seeds are planted. However, you don’t have to remove the film when planting. To do this, you need to make holes directly in the film into which the seedlings will be planted. This is probably the most effective method. In addition, it has practically no disadvantages.Thanks to the shelter, the soil warms up well, which has a very positive effect on the seedlings. And the shelter will also serve as mulch, which will end the fight not only with weeds, but also with other weeds. The only drawback is that fungi and other pathogens multiply quickly in such an environment. But still, many gardeners fight dreaming in this very way. It is better to get a bad harvest once than every time because of the proximity to such a weed.
