My vegetable garden is a sacred place to me, to nurture and nourish these wonderful organic beauties takes time, patience and dedication.
It is the season for cucumbers and beans, there is so many that I cant keep up each day amazed by how quickly they are growing. I arrive to work each day with my basket full, Zuii HQ will be drinking cucumber smoothies for weeks to come.
My tip to keep away nasty weeds when maintaining a chemical free garden is to make the following mix and spray onto your weeds. A natural way to clean up your garden.
Vinegar: Kill weeds dead with a good shot of vinegar. For best results, don’t dilute with water and choose a time to spray when there’s no sign of rain. Household vinegar is around 5% acetic acid concentration which will do the trick for new growth. If you can find a stronger vinegar (like pickling which is about 9%), that will give better results for more mature (and stubborn) varieties.
