Garden expert Eva Luigas: weed control starts with understanding their lifestyle

Garden expert Eva Luigas explained on TereVision that to successfully battle weeds, one must first understand their growth habits and lifestyle. Only then is it possible to choose appropriate methods and tools. Luigas admitted that she too has plants in her garden that she planted herself, but which she is now desperately trying to get rid of.

Garden expert Eva Luigas shares the secrets of weed control. In a TereVision programme, she explained that before battling weeds, one should thoroughly learn about their life cycle and growth patterns, this knowledge helps select the right tools and effective methods.

Luigas emphasized that different weeds require different approaches. Some spread through seeds, others through roots or rhizomes, which is why a control method that works for one species can prove completely ineffective for another.

The expert candidly admitted to personal experience: her own garden contains several plants that she once introduced there out of ignorance or excessive enthusiasm, and which she is now desperately trying to get rid of. This experience has been a good lesson for her in why it is worth researching the spread habits of a plant before bringing it into the garden.
