My Homesteading Journey : Weed Removal

Homesteading and removing weeds using simple methods and tools
Homesteading is a beautiful idea and a simple word that brings together everything we love about agriculture and natural living in one place. The whole point is that you depend on yourself to grow vegetables and fruits and raise animals if you like, and at the same time enjoy a quiet and simple life. One of the most important problems that anyone faces in homesteading is harmful weeds, which appear in every place and bother you in your plants. Let's talk a little about removing them using simple methods and tools.

The number one enemy

Weeds such as wild grass, catnip, and other weeds can be a big problem, because they compete with the plants you planted for water and food. Instead of keeping your plants strong and healthy, you find weeds taking everything for themselves. That's why we must get rid of it as soon as possible.

Simple weed removal tools

There is no need for large and complicated tools, because there are simple tools that can help you remove weeds easily:

  • Small Grove (Agricultural Tranquility): This is an easy and very useful thing. You can remove weeds from the roots with it, and it is light in your hand and easy to use.
  • Hands and Gloves: For many hours, there is nothing better than using your hand directly. Wearing gloves and pulling weeds by the roots will be very effective, especially if the soil is soft after rain.

The simple way to remove weeds

First of all, try to remove the weeds as soon as possible. If you let her grow older, you will find that she has become a much bigger problem. The second thing is to try to remove the weeds from the root, because if you remove them from above only, they will come up again quickly. If the soil is dry, try watering it a little before you start removing the weeds, so that the roots will come out easily.

Tips for maintaining the plant

  • Mulch: Using mulch around your plants helps prevent weed growth. It also helps maintain soil moisture.

  • Dense planting: Planting plants next to each other can help prevent harmful weeds from growing, because they will not have a place to grow.

  • Periodic attention: Have a schedule for planting, watering, and weeding. Regularity in this will help you keep your farm clean and healthy.

Homesteading can be a fun and rewarding adventure, and it definitely requires some effort and attention. By removing harmful weeds in a simple way, you will be able to enjoy growing your plants and benefit from their crops without many problems. Always remember that simplicity is the secret to success in everything, even in agriculture.

Weeding regularly is really good to prevent unnecessary competitions for all our farm crop's in gaining access to nutrients.

It's great to see you had a glove to prevent effects of regular weeding on your hand, I guess I'll need to get that when next I visit the market.
