Managing Weeds

Managing weeds in your garden can be a simple task that takes only minutes or a time-consuming chore that overwhelms your time.  The sooner weeds are removed, the less of a problem they become.  They can quickly spread over an entire plot within weeks if not promptly removed.  Covering weeds with mulch will not stop them.  They need to be taken out by the roots.

Weeds can harbor diseases, attract undesirable insects and can readily spread to other gardens by seeds or roots.  When weeds get out of control in a plot, the owner will be given warnings which could lead to losing the plot.
