  1. 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 🙂 )

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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
