Hello,
I am new to yard work. I have weeds and alovera plants growing out of
the flowerbeds. I want to get rid of the alovera and weeds. How do you
normally get rid of these? I've seen people just pour mulch over their
tree wells to cover up the weeds. Also, how do i get rid of the alovera
plant out of my flowerbed. I tried using my electrical weed trimmer,
but the sticky stuff from the plant splattered on me. Basically, my
flowerbeds have antbeds, weeds, and alovera(which i don't want in it).
Any site or suggestions on doing this? I am a recent first time
homeowner, so this is all new to me. I live in Southeast Texas. Thanks.

The aloe vera plants have many medicinal uses. I keep a pot on my
kitchen window sill, as well as plants in the garden. They are so
tough you can hardly kill them with neglect.

Use for burns, scratches, cuts, infections, general skin care, etc..

Amazing how people spend $$$ at the drugstore for bottled aloe vera
because of its healing powers instead of using the original plant.

Why not dig up a few of your plants, pot them, and experience
their wonderful qualities.

For weeds with roots up to a foot long, the weed twister from Ergonica
works great. You can browse through dozens of weed pullers from the
World of Weeds at www.ergonica.com.

Replanting the aloe vera is a good suggestion.

Have fun!
