Apply a 1 to 2 inch layer of organic material over the garden. Turn the soil. Work the soil only when it is dry enough to crumble easily after squeezing, never when it is saturated with water. The best time to eliminate weeds and grass is the season before you plan to plant your garden. You can do it just prior to planting, too, but may have more weeds pop up throughout the growing season.
