Remove and prevent weeds on the fence

First remove wild growth mechanically

If weeds have already settled, you should cut them back and then pull out the roots. If possible, dig up the earth under the fence with a digging fork, because this way the roots can be read out easily. It pays to be very careful with this work, as many weed plants grow back from the smallest remains of roots.

Creepers in the fence

Measures mentioned above also help against winds, which are otherwise difficult to combat. Once these creepers have settled with you, however, consistency is required. After regular mowing at ground level, you should pull root parts out of the ground for as long as possible. As a result, the plants are weakened so much over time that the winds no longer have enough energy for new growth.

It took a lot of effort to lay them under the fence. However, a not too thin layer of mulch made of plant material serves the same purpose. Proceed as follows when deploying:

• First weed the weeds.
• Loosen the soil a little and pull out the remains of the roots.
• Spread bark mulch or grass clippings about 5 centimeters thick.

The weeds grow into my fence from the neighboring property. What to do?

Your neighbor has the freedom to design his garden as he likes. However, with simple measures you can prevent root weeds from growing into your garden under the enclosure.

• Lay polyethylene rhizome barriers along the fence that weeds cannot pierce through.
• Insert the barrier at a slight angle, as this will guide the roots upwards.
