Another primary means of obtaining more efficient water use is the elimination of weeds in the garden and flower-patches. Weeds compete with the desired plants for not only water, but also for soil nutrients, and sunlight.
By removing the weeds, the desired plants will have more nutrients and water available for their own growth. Weeds can be eliminated by using herbicides, or more simply by hand or mechanical cultivation (pulling them out). Plastic films and other mulches can also be effective methods of weed control
