Does Sugar Really Control Weeds? The Science Says No

No university or extension endorses sugar as herbicide. "Sweeten the soil" means raising pH, not adding sucrose. Sugar feeds microbes, which over time improve soil so weeds struggle—but it doesn't kill or prevent weeds directly. Thick grass from proper fertility crowds weeds. Chemicals create dependency; organics build resilience. Stop spraying; start soil-building.
