Weeding can take up the majority of your time in the garden. However, it is possible to reduce the time spent weeding AND increase the amount you harvest from your vegetable garden. This video demonstrates simple weeding techniques which can help you to rid your garden of weeds and stop them from removing vital nutrients from the soil. We explain which methods work best for different types of weeds, as well as how to use mulches and weed barriers for future protection.

I've found that slugs LOVE bread. It's easy to collect them in the late evening or earlier on cooler/cloudier days. It's cheaper than beer, and the birds love the bread, too! (But watch out for the cat lurking 🙂 )
The presence of weeds in the garden are quite difficult to rid off. As it is necessary to eradicate, I guess these tips are useful enough to solve from encountering problems regarding weeds. Nice information!
Awesome thanks
I have loads of groundelder in my garden is there a quick way to get rid of them? Michelle.
after dis u smoek weed evryday
Vinegar will kill weeds !
You want easy? Cover the soil around your crops with brown cardboard, newspaper, or other non-glossy paper with little or no ink or that has vegetable based ink then cover that with straw or compost. Few if any weeds will grow through hence very little weeding necessary plus you'll save on water and have happy worms and soil. I miss the look of moist brown dirt but the benefits far outweigh that little issue.
Very informative….Thank you 🙂
The hoeing technique leaves a lot to be desired.
Im just starting to learn about gardening, and im glad this is the first vid ive seen. Excellent advice. Thank you
I disagree with your classification of a weed.
i just use my hands lol
Most important thing I learnt, is that there are no such thing as weeds. Merely, plants that respond to a certain condition or disturbance. In the case of unwanted "weeds", the control could be as easy as fixing the root cause. Poly crops and green manures are a good start. Composting them even if they are seeding should be ok if your pile is thermophillic.
I am very convinced I wrote quiz back the present case!
I hate weeds
Hell, I just use a rototiller every so often around the plants.
Lololoooolool
Can't we mix the weeds in the compost ?
Is chopping weeds 1 inch below soil surface enough to check regrowth of weeds having 3" to 5" deep roots?
Answer de humko
Make weeds into compost tea .
I dump the green weeds and grass into water barrel and leave it sit outside for one week and then use it as liquid fertilizer
Very helpful
