Hello,
The best way is to avoid the growth of unwanted weeds.
Plant dominatrix plants, and enjoyable.

If the bamboo is well braked by a concrete barrier, everything will be fine.
In this case, this place was full of nettles and brambles.
Another example:
A pot in which a rose bush grows (in this case, the "weeds are having a blast.

Now another pot, which is clean thanks to a covering succulent plant ... no more "weeds ... (I forgot the name of this plant)

We must distinguish 2 scenarios: controlling weeds in cultivated land or in places that we want to keep "clean".
In the first case, the planting solution, as proposed The middle is well adapted; we can also use a mulch or mulch. The mulch has, in addition, other advantages, like to keep the freshness, to avoid the soil compaction and finally, to feed the earthworms (= tiller to zero consumption: who say better?).
In the second, in addition to the hoe, in difficult places, in the alleys or at the foot of a fence, for example, the burning of the herbs is really effective only at the seedling stage. Hot water is the most suitable method in my opinion, because it acts at the superficial level of the roots of well-established grasses.

Above all, you should know that it is useless to "burn" each plant. We pass over it slowly, it gets hot which "destroys" the proteins and enzymes, it remains apparently green but the plant dries up and dies during the day ... So we save a lot of gas ... hand, with the right speed, is to be found ...

Personally I still have better: the technique of black tarpaulin ... or the tent if you prefer!

But it takes longer! : Mrgreen:

a good idea, although it is very noisy as a fowl, and can be enough as a guard element in running away from the ranger: it is an asset that can be taken into account

on the other hand, when it comes to eating grass, nothing like ruminants. It remains to be seen which one is another story.

No chance The Just
I heard ecological advice on the radio.
The nettles, precisely with all the interest already developed elsewhere, have the privilege of sheltering families of ladybugs during hard times, otherwise, they will not be there, when it will be necessary.
Nettles also allow aphids to survive ...

I know there is still regulation for bird flu ...
(Lock up the birds in the event of an epidemic)
For the rest ... in big cities like Brussels, there must be bans, but not in the countryside ...
