☘️ How to keep weeds away?



"Give a weed an inch and it’ll take a yard...."

Hot season started, and so did the weed season!

💚 Ways to keep your yard weed-free without use of herbicide:

  1. Mulch, mulch, mulch
  2. Cover the area with cardboard (still getting those Amazon boxes?) and put mulch, mulch, mulch on top.
  3. Plant dense ground cover plants! Weeds will lose competition for food and light.


🎥 Did you know that Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) makes not only a trellis/fence solution, but also a dense fragrant ground cover? It's not demanding, fast growing, drought tolerant plant, takes full sun or shade. Sweet, deliciously fragrant flowers is a pleasant bonus!
