I have a 30' x 40' garden.
Holy cow...I can't keep up with the weeds! I bought a Mantis
mini-tiller hoping that it would at least take care of the weeds
between rows, but it doesn't. It disturbs them, but leaves most of
them rooted.

Whew...the weeds are a real deterrant to the garden experience.

My wife is milking this whole "I'm 9 months pregnant" thing, so she's
no help. :-)


Get a hoe. Use it the day after it rains.

Also consider abandoning rows and plant in blocks. The plants will form a
canopy and the shade will prevent many weed seeds from germinating.
