Weed control
Weed control
by niallnas » Tue Sep 11, 2018 9:43 am
I’m looking for someone who can visit our villa in quesada probably once a month to spray some decent weed killer. The outside area is completely paved but we have an ongoing problem with weeds and an ongoing problem with finding someone reliable willing to treat them.

Try putting salt on the weeds. I treated the weeds on the pavement outside my Villa with salt and it worked.

..and much more eco friendly - Will not hurt any wildlife or good insects (who feed off the bad insects) and even better no bad fumes into the environment.
Yes you've guessed I hate pesticides. My garden in UK and Spain thrives on salt as a weedkiller. In the gravel or stones just pull a weed and place a little salt in the place where the weed was and after doing this each time the weeds get less and less. A bowl of Washing up liquid and water thrown over trees and shrubs every now and again helps too.
One of my neighbours in Spain gets a man dressed up like a ghost buster to blitz his garden occasionally but my plants/trees are always as good as his lol

Thanks for the suggestion, the problem is we’re not there to do this.

I understand. Maybe your garden has more plants than ours and harder to control but we are only there a few times a year as well and it works for us.

Try it next time you are over. It's not a weekly or monthly chore as the Salt kills the weed. Don't expect instant success like weedkiller but weedkiller doesn't always kill the root anyway.
