Poison thuja hedge - is that possible?

Of course, there are means you can use to tackle a thuja hedge. Round-Up is recommended, a weed remedy that is no longer approved for household use. The following remedies are often mentioned:

• Scatter road salt
• pour with salt water
• Pour the thuja with vinegar
• Lime the soil heavily
• Use weed killer
• Let the hedge enter through waterlogging

Some of these uses can severely poison a thuja hedge so that it ultimately dies. However, this is not advisable in the interests of soil health and the health of the garden owner. Last but not least, such use harms the insects and other animal garden dwellers who ensure a healthy garden climate.

When using chemical agents, you must assume that the garden will not be usable for months. You are not allowed to grow fruit and vegetables there for a long time.

Dig up thuja hedge

The safest and most harmless, but unfortunately also the most labor-intensive way to remove a tree hedge is the

Sawing off, Dig out and disposal.

First cut the hedge down so that only a tree stump remains in the ground. It has to be long enough that you can attach the rope of a winch to it to get the rhizome out of the ground.

Alternatively, dig the root off when the thuja is not that big. Since the tree of life is shallow, you don't have to dig so deep to get the roots out of the ground.

Simply cut the tree of life

If you saw a tree of life just above the ground, it will not sprout again. the Roots rot with time in the ground.

Pour a sufficiently high layer Topsoil above, then you can at least sow lawn here again. Before planting other plants, you will have to wait for the roots to decompose.
