This is interesting... my neighbour isn't organic, at all. He uses Roundup like its going out of fashion. Tanks of the stuff. His plot is covered with weeds, esp.Chickweed.

I don't use any weedkiller, just hoeing/pulling/digging. I have virtually no weeds, and I'm only on the plot for a few hours a week now.

I don't know why this would be, unless he is using his weedkiller after the weeds have already set seed - whereas I pull up my weeds before they can set seeds. Also, he leaves lots of bare ground, whereas i keep mine covered with crops/flowers/green manures, which crowd out the weeds.
