Gardening is a hobby with many well-known benefits, but many gardeners face one very common problem: keeping weeds out.
A gardener took to Reddit to ask the community about a particular product called Roundup Weed and Grass Killer in this post from the r/garding subreddit. This Roundup product is a liquid designed to spray on unwanted weeds and grasses. Reddit users had a lot to say in response.
One user warned : "It's poison, it's meant to kill indiscriminately."
Another user responded with the following advice : "It's best to avoid using chemicals. Most of us simply pull weeds by hand after a rain when the ground is soft and all the roots can be pulled out. Some of us are really the weirdos." I'm grateful."
Many people enjoy the different elements of gardening. Caring for plants or an entire lawn can be both physically and mentally healthy and a beautiful experience every day.
Do you want to have a beautiful garden and lawn without spending money on excess water, chemicals and fertilizers? Some great options to explore include installing native plants or replacing your grass with other green, low-maintenance options, such as: B. clover or buffalo grass . Each of these options saves time and money and increases the habitat value of your lawn.
Native plants are also much friendlier to pollinators and insects. Building an ecosystem for pollinators is great because they help protect our food supply and also attract native birds and other animals.
Even by transforming just a portion of your lawn, you can save time and money while creating a welcome mat for beautiful and diverse wildlife. For helpful information and tips on installing native plants or natural grass, see the TCD guides here and here .
If you need to control weeds and other unwanted growth, it's best to thoroughly research the products available and use them sparingly. Coalitions have sought to ban toxic herbicides because of the potentially harmful effects of their use.
To avoid risks, people can protect their lawns and themselves by trying less expensive, natural options for weed control .
Regarding the Roundup product, one commenter shared , "I only use it on poison ivy because even if you pull it out it seems to grow back. For regular weeds, it's best to pull them out by hand."
Another commenter summed it up simply: "Please don't use it." Worst product ever made. »
