Hogweed
How to get rid of weedsgrow up to 3-4 meters! Suppresses all plants within a meter zone from the stem. But this is not so bad. The cow parsnip is dangerous to human health - the hairs covering its trunk secrete poisonous juice. This juice, when it gets on the skin, causes severe, poorly healing burns. Methods of struggle Mechanical: The most effective way is to dig up the plant along with the roots and burn it before it appears. Please note - all stages of this "operation" must be carried out in clothes that completely cover the body, glasses and gloves! Folk: Experienced gardeners recommend this method: cut the hogweed stalk low and pour it inside its base-pipe (not vinegar!) Or fill in ordinary table salt, a couple of tablespoons. It is important to be in time with the procedure before the seeds ripen. Chemical: Simple spraying with chemicals for hogweed is an empty phrase, unless some of the leaves dry out. But the weed is guaranteed to be destroyed by an injection of the herbicide. Prepare a roundup solution (10 ml per plant), draw it into a syringe and inject it into the base of the stem. The plant will completely die in 10 - 14 days.
