Mowing
Mowing can be done once a year, usually between mid-April and mid-May when most plant species are still dormant.
Early Intervention
The most important part of weed control is preventing them from going to seed and spreading throughout your garden.
If you see any weeds, you can pull them by hand - make sure to get the roots!
Herbicides
Most herbicides aren’t effective at controlling one unwanted species without negatively impacting others.
They should be your last resort; do what you can to avoid them for the health of your garden!
