Tackling Towering Weeds: Strategies for Eliminating Tall and Overgrown Weeds in Your Yard

One of the best ways to kill a large area of weeds is by mulching the soil with grass clippings, wood shavings or pieces of cardboard. This will block access to the sunlight that weeds need to grow and it will attract insects that will kill them for you. The only drawback to this method is that it can take a full growing season for the weeds to completely die.

Another way to smother the weeds is by covering the soil with a type of weed suppressant fabric that can be purchased in most gardening supply stores. The fabric keeps the sun from reaching the weeds so they can’t continue to grow. If you prefer not to purchase this special fabric, you can cover the area with a layer of newspaper or cardboard that will also work well.
