Not only beginners want to learn about ways to deal with weeds. Even experienced farmers are interested in new methods of getting rid of woodlice on the plots. This is due to the fact that it is naturally impossible to completely remove the weed. From any small remnant of a shoot or seed, the weed is reborn again. It does not matter the environmental conditions. There are several options for helping to get rid of woodlice weed in gardens and orchards.
Mechanical ways
Methods of mechanical action are related to agrotechnical measures. The most effective in the fight against wood lice:
- Use of mechanical tools to eradicate the weed. If you fight by hand, then this method is suitable for very young plants that do not have a root system. But even in this case, it is better to loosen the ground with a rake in order to destroy the emerging shoots of wood lice. Small white roots break off easily.
- The use of a flat cutter, removing a thin layer of soil with a shovel or a sharp chopper. It is important to cut off the growing point to stop the further development of the weed.

It is very important to lay the selected plants to dry in the sun, laying a film.
