Preventing Garden Weeds - A Guide For The Autumn in Mediterranean Climates

 Autumn has arrived in the northern Hemisphere, and with winter approaching, there are two weed issues that should be faced. One is how to prepare the garden so that the weeds are controlled to manageable proportions, and the other is how to deal with noxious perennial weeds right now. I will discuss the perennials later in the article. The main problem with winter weeds in a Mediterranean type climate, is the high rate of germination and therefore the capacity of the weeds to really smother whole areas. This, can actually be advantageous in large scale situations, but not so in small garden beds. Of course the weeds can always be picked out periodically during the winter, but prevention is usually better than cure as the saying goes. The question is how and by which method? The best way is to spread a natural, organic mulch over the bare soil to a depth of about 10 cm.

 Aesthetically speaking, the most appropriate material are wood chippings, although functionally at least, straw and even weeds can be used. Organic mulches are to be preferred to inorganic ones like pebbles or small rocks, because they not only inhibit germination more effectively, but they also improve the soil and general conditions in which the plants grow. Mulches are ineffective though in preventing perennials such as invasive lawn grasses. These have to be treated after they have emerged. Another method of retarding winter weeds is one often suggested, but which is in my view highly undesirable in a small garden - namely the use of pre-emergent herbicides. These are weed killers that kill the weed seedlings shortly after germination. The crucial point to remember is that these are residual herbicides, effectively poisoning the top layer of the soil for a period of time ranging from two to six months. Furthermore, their application requires considerable knowledge and experience by the user, in order to be both effective on the one hand, but without causing damage to the soil and to neighbouring plants on the other. The granular types are more suitable for a small area than the spraying of a liquid one. Needless to say, only qualified persons should carry out the work. In big gardens, where there may be large spaces which have yet to be planted, the spraying of empty areas with a pre emergent, may be reluctantly considered, because mulching is often impractical over large areas, mainly for economic reasons, as would be removing weeds by hand through the winter. There is though another way of managing weeds in these situations, which has none of the draw backs associated with residual herbicides, and that is to periodically mow the weeds, say once a month, by either a mechanical weed tool like a strimmer or if possible, even by a lawn mower. The weeds are not eliminated but kept under control. From all points of view this is better for the health of the soil, thereby creating better growing conditions when the open area is finally planted up.

Organic Weed Killers

Image
 Many weed killers labeled as organic contain sodium chloride, which is just plain table salt. What a lot of people don't know is that too much salt is actually poisonous so while it may be organic using too much could possibly do more harm than using a synthetic herbicide. The other main active ingredient in organic weed control products is concentrated vinegar, usually 10% to 30%. Your standard household vinegar is only 5%; distilled vinegar is generally 10% to 15%. A 30% concentrate can be considered more toxic than synthetic herbicide.  Using vinegar is usually considered the best organic weed killer but there are a few things you should know before using it. The first thing to know is that vinegar will kill not only your weeds but most of your small plants and grass in the area you use it on, it will lower the pH of the soil making the soil inhospitable to plants for at least a week. The other thing you need to know is that vinegar can eat concrete, so you don't want to u...
