4. Newspaper Layers

Spread layers of newspaper (about 5-10 sheets thick) over affected areas to block sunlight.
Moisten the newspaper and cover with mulch for better efficiency.
5. Mulch
Apply a thick layer of mulch to your garden beds to starve weeds of sunlight.
Organic mulches can also add nutrients to your soil as they decompose.
6. Salt
Mix a solution of three parts salt to one part water, and apply it directly to the weeds.
Use sparingly to avoid harming other plants and soil health.
7. Lemon Juice
Fill a spray bottle with pure lemon juice and apply it directly to weeds.
The acidity will dehydrate and kill the unwanted plants.
8. Rubbing Alcohol
Mix a solution of two tablespoons rubbing alcohol to one quart of water.
Apply the solution with a spray bottle for precision targeting.
9. Hand Weeding
Manually remove weeds by hand or with weeding tools.

This method ensures that you are only removing unintended plants.
By using these natural methods, you can effectively control weeds without using harmful chemicals. Not only will you create a safer environment for your plants and family, but you will also support the overall health and sustainability of our planet. Enjoy your thriving, weed-free garden!
