Weeding is an important part of gardening, but it can be difficult to decide whether to pull weeds or hoe them. Here are some things to consider when making your decision:
-The type of weed: Some weeds, like dandelions, have deep taproots that are difficult to remove if you try to pull them. Others, like crabgrass, have shallow roots that are easy to pull out.
-The time of year: Weeds tend to grow more quickly in the spring and summer months. If you wait too long to weed, they will become more established and harder to remove.
-Your garden layout: If your garden is small and tidy, pulling weeds may be the best option so you don't disturb the rest of your plants. However, if your garden is large or has a lot of weeds, hoeing may be faster and easier.
In general, it is usually best to pull smaller weeds when they are young and haven't yet gone to seed. Hoeing is better for larger gardens or those with tougher weeds. Whichever method you choose, make sure to stay on top of weeding so your garden can thrive!
