Effective Ways to Eliminate 10 Invasive Weeds

What's a weed, you ask? It's a pesky plant that sprouts up where you don't want it, whether it's an eyesore or a beauty queen. But let's face it, they all have one thing in common - they grow like there's no tomorrow, taunting you to take a break from life and binge-watch Wendy William’s dish on Hollywood's latest drama. Don't give in just yet, my friend. There's hope for your sanity. And who's got your back? Grumpy, of course! While I prefer natural remedies to weed out these nuisances, let's be real - some weeds just won't budge without some chemical warfare. Here's what works, take your pick and say goodbye to those pesky plants.

1: Nutgrass

Blame yourself if you have lots of nutgrass in your lawn. Nutgrass, a type of sedge, thrives in sickly lawns that are underfed, poorly drained, watered too much, and mowed too short. To get rid of nutgrass, grow a thick lawn mowed no shorter than two inches and let the good grass crowd it out. In the flower and veggie garden, pull plants as soon as they sprout and spread a two-inch thick layer of mulch over the top. Pull some every day and hoe out seedlings before they get three inches tall.
