Are you an avid gardener or just loving to see your home's garden to look beautiful? If yes, then surely, you would not want to have weeds accumulating over your plants. Worry no more because there are effective weed prevention strategies you can try.

#1 Why not use broken pots, sands, and rocks?
You might already have a landscape for your garden. Well, you can add broken terra cotta, sand, and river rocks. They can effectively help to prevent weeds from growing on your garden soil. In addition, broken pots can be utilized for potted plants thus preventing weeds from invading your preious gardens.

#2 Groundcovers can be your friend, too!
Innovative groundcovers are one of the most famous ways when it comes to weed control. They are low-maintenance in controlling weeds and yet look natural to keep landscapes and garden look more awesome.

However, you will likely not be able to eliminate all weeds with groundcover, so will still require pulling weeds regularly.

#3 Do Mulching

Another most popular method of combatting weeds is to use mulch in your gardens. Mulch looks more natural in appearance while helping your gardens to look more appealing.

Also remember that mulch naturally breaks down over time, therefore, you'll need to replenish it annually to maintain a two- to three-inch layer.

Good morning Tamra. My solution, live in a hi-rise and not have a garden! In the old days, Mulch was in use! Enjoy your day!

I really like the mulch that is made from old tires and colored in different colors.  Red is very popular.
