Have to agree that covering the plot over is the best way to remove / suppress the weeds, but weedkiller does have it place too! Our new second plot has some really bad areas, so we are going to spray these (along with the weeds that are coming thru the bark chipping on the paths, as it will help to control the weeds and give us some breathing space. In an ideal world we'd have the time to double dig every bed abd remove as much as possible, but the growing season is here, and we arent going to have time! What I would also recommend is to plant thru weed control fabric, or mulch heavily wherever you can, as this will help control the weeds in those beds you've already cleared, saving time and effort! |
