Every fall we use our fallen leaves and place them in the garden. This suppresses the weeds and smothers them to keep them from growing. In the spring, we till the leaves into the soil and plant them for the next season. Other suppressants include mulch, and hay.

What is a weed suppressant?

Smothering weeds is one way to keep weeds from germinating and you can do this by covering the ground or garden with things like fallen leaves, hay, and mulch. Pulling weeds also stops them from going to seed and spreading. When they spread they move into a new space and germinate in the ground which is why it's important to keep up with them. You can also trim the weed if you cannot get to the root and stop the seeds from spreading. This will then give you time to put weed killer on them.
