Weed control can be a daunting task. However, with regular maintenance and a few preventative tools, weeding can be manageable, even easy. During the growing season, make a commitment to weed 20 minutes every week. Grab a hoe and disturb the little guys before they have the opportunity to grow big and tough. This will also help your plants conserve water and provide them nutrients.
Plant beds closely and evenly, leaving little room for weeds to grow.
As your plants grow, they will crowd weeds out as they drink all water and shade the bare ground. Do not let weeds set seed. If nothing else, clip those weed flowers and seed heads as you see them. For concrete cracks, kill weeds with a good clipping and boiling water . In the off-season, use cover crops or mulch to prevent weed growth.
