‘Surprisingly effective’ trick will kill weeds in minutes – and it costs nothing

A piece of land appropriated for the cultivation of herbs, flowers, fruit and vegetables. A garden may also contain trees.

Avoid weeds by practicing crop rotation. This method prevents pests that attack a particular plant from building up over time in one field.

Skunks also serve an important purpose

While no one wants a skunk in their yard, these creatures can do you a favor.

Skunks don’t spray unless provoked. When left alone, they’ll eat beetles, mice, rats, crickets, and grubs.

You can leave opossums alone, too, while you’re at it. They kill off the same small pests skunks do and also slurp down slugs, snails, and venomous snakes.

If there’s a dead animal in your yard, an opossum is likely to find it and consume it, saving you the trouble.

Plus, they eat overripe fruits, which can really improve your garden.
