Wailing ordinary - description of the plant
Slyt ordinary or Aegopódium podagrária (from the Latin "goat foot") belongs to perennial herbaceous plants. This species is from the kind of slyti, an umbrella family. It has straight, hollow, slightly branched stems up to a meter in height. The creeping roots of this plant grow horizontally, and 8-centimeter, pubescent bottom, the leaves have an oblong shape with pointed edges. In the upper part of the plant, the leaves are somewhat smaller and have short stems. Their venation is pinnate.
Snyt multiplies both seeds and vegetatively. The flowering period (blooms at the same time) falls in June-July and lasts about a month. In heavily shaded areas can grow well, but the flowering will not come. Each plant has more than 300 flowers. They are small, white, have 1 pistil and 5 stamens, collected in complex umbrellas (each with 20-30 umbrellas, consisting of 15-20 flowers). The fruit gives only the top umbrella, the rest - fruitless. The fruit is ribbed, oblate, oblong, two-seed, brown-brown in color, 3-4 mm in size.
Did you know? Slyt is an excellent honey plant, 1 hectare of flowering thickets can yield up to 200 kg of honey. It turns out quite light with a yellow-green shade, a pleasant smell and taste, as well as excellent medicinal properties characteristic of the Sly.The life span of the plant is at least 50 years. Occurs in forests, shrubs, clearings, gardens and vegetable gardens in Europe and Asia.
Is it possible to bring resilient weed
Despite the fact that it is impossible to call Snyat a weed in the full sense of the word, because, as already mentioned, she has a number of useful qualities that lead her extremely aggressively: spreading quickly, the plant displaces other cultures, and it is rather difficult to get rid of slippage. In particular, this is due to the fact that the powerful root system reaches 40 cm in depth and is difficult to remove completely.
And yet with this weed can be fought. There are 2 types of such a fight:
- In the first case, you should not allow the spread and getting drained to the site.
- The second type is a struggle with an already overgrown weed.
Is it possible to eradicate the dream by digging the garden
Such a method as digging with a shovel will help to destroy many of the weeds in the area, but is not suitable for combating soty. Since this plant multiplies vegetatively, then digging, grinding and moving the roots, only contribute to the growth. The roots will continue to develop and create new processes.
But if you use a pitchfork, you will be able to completely select the root system, take it out and burn it to sleep. You can put the plant in dark, airtight bags for a year. During this time, it will become humus, and the seeds will lose their germination. If you want to somehow speed up the process of decomposition of the roots slyti, then add to them fresh manure or bird droppings.
Important! After removal from the soil, in any case, do not throw snyat just in compost, so its roots will continue to develop and it will quickly spread throughout the site.
How to get rid of slyti on the site, the advice of experienced agronomists
Slyt extremely quickly (1-2 meters per year) occupies new territories, and if you do not stop its distribution, then very soon it will be everywhere. There are several ways to fight. We have already told about digging with pitchforks, just remember that it is necessary to remove all roots.
Some agronomists also advise, as it should, to drain sleep, so that you can get rid of these weeds. The secret of this method is that sprouts should be removed before the leaves are formed, that is, as soon as they appear on the surface of the ground. As germinating, snyat spends accumulated in the roots of reserves of useful substances for it, then removing another white sprout, before the beginning of photosynthesis, you significantly weaken the roots, and when you remove it again (always before the leaves bloom), they will increasingly thin out, weaken and, in the end, die. Of course, this is quite a laborious process that takes a lot of time.
Important! If you miss even a weak sprout, then the struggle with dreaming will have to start over again, since it will quickly multiply in the garden plot.If you only need to prevent slyti from entering your territory, for example, from neighbors, or limit its growth, then you should dig garden tape or slate across the entire border of the site (without defects, because the roots can even find a small hole) to a depth of about 30 cm A lawn well lit by the sun is an insurmountable barrier to sleep. Constant mowing will also weaken this weed and lead to its partial death.
If there are places on your site where it is not possible to completely remove the weed, then at least do not allow it to bloom, remove flower stalks in a timely manner, otherwise it will quickly spread deep into the territory.
After removing all the plants, on the ground where they grew, it is good to plant potatoes, because it needs regular hilling.
If the above methods do not suit you, and you are still wondering: how can you get rid of these weeds in the garden and in the garden, then try using the mulching method. Cover the grass, roofing material or other material so that it does not penetrate the light, just remember to make holes for watering shrubs or other garden plants, if any, on the site.
What to do if the plot is "running", how long will it take to fight the weed
If the site is firmly established snyt, then perhaps it is necessary to turn to the radical method and remove the entire top layer of soil, folding it up. From above the ground is poured over with urea or mullein and covered with foil. Watering will take a long time, from 1.5 months to several years, until fertilizer is formed.
In cases where you do not have enough time, and you need the sooner to destroy the weeds forever, you can use the chemical method, it is the most effective. The herbicide treatment procedure is carried out several times per season (preferably before flowering, because the seeds are resistant to pesticides). The concentration of the solution should be twice as high as normal.
The fight against dreams is a laborious and lengthy process, but not at all hopeless, especially with an integrated approach. If you show patience and do not regret your strength, then your plot will be out of reach for this resilient weed.
