Hello!

I'm looking for a way to kill or prevent grass and dandelions, but not
harm other flowers (mostly tulips). So far I've used wood-chip mulch:
that keeps a lot of weeds down, but not grass and dandelions. At the
same time I've also used elbow grease, but I'm looking for something
better. The local garden store sells lots of herbicides, but they
advise me not to buy them, because they'll hurt the tulips.

Advice? Thank you.

if the grass and dandelions are a little away from the tulips dousing them
with hot water will kill them off. If gorwing amongst the tulips obviously
don't as you will get boiled tulip.
