Weed by Hand

Each year gardeners pour millions of litres of chemicals onto their lawns and gardens.  Excessive use of herbicides and other pesticides threatens biodiversity and freshwater resources, two essential elements of life on earth.


Avoid using chemical weed killers.  To remove weeds from your garden, hoe regularly, and pull weeds out before they can seed.  Boiling water from a kettle (I tend to use what is left over from when I make a cup of tea), Vinegar and lemon juice can also be used to kill some weeds.
