Fast Garden Clearance: Weeds, Moss, Slugs & Winter Prep

Clear the patch efficiently before planting.

Weeds

1. Mulch (blocks light/air).
2. Pull (thick gloves).
3. Dig persistent roots.
4. Chop before seeding.
5. Cover crop (buckwheat, rye) outcompetes.

Moss

1. Apply ferrous sulfate/ammonium sulfate killer.
2. Rake dead moss after few days.
3. Reseed grass, keep moist until established.

Slugs

• Yeast-honey-water trap in bright cup.
• Cabbage leaf/orange rind bait in sideways jars. Collect, relocate far away.

Winter Clearance

• Remove dead foliage (fungal spores).
• Compost on perennial beds + weed barrier.
• Dig bulbs, dry, store in paper bags.
• Move tender plants indoors.

Thorough clearance = clean slate for success.
