hi how do i keep the weeds from growing back in my
garden

try different methods for different weeds in different situatoins.
observe.

don't spend much time weeding. i let certain plants smother other plants.
i hand pull the easier weeds before they seed. i also use a shovel or just
pull out small trees and bushes. and i use roundup in difficult to
maintain areas such as gravel edges. (most are usually difficult to
maintain due to politics, rather than horticultural causes)
