How do I permanently get rid of weeds?

This is a difficult one. Weed growth flourishes in the same environments that promote plant growth. There are, however, strategies for preventing weed growth and eradicating weeds after they have established themselves. To begin, use landscaping fabric to cover the soil in your flower beds and garden to prevent weeds from sprouting. Then, to prevent weed growth even more, apply a weed preventer like Preen. To prevent weeds from returning, remove the entire weed, including the root, as soon as feasible. To get rid of weeds that sprout in cracks in concrete and pavers, use a commercial herbicide. For a more natural treatment, use vinegar in a spray bottle. Herbicides, such as vinegar, kill all plants, not just weeds, when they come into contact with it.
