use a hoe to cut the weeds off and DONT disturb the soil bringing weed seeds up to
the top. mulching with newspapers covered with marsh hay keeps a lot of weeds down.
anything germinates on top of that is easily pulled. Ingrid

We have a large vegetable garden.

weeds eventually grow throughout the garden, and of course need to be
removed, which is a tedious job.

I don't know where the weeds come from, but they only grow in the
garden, and they grow fast.

If we built a greenhouse on half of the garden, will the weeds from
outside of the garden spread easily into the garden? would the weeding
job be easier? let's assume that once it is planted, the tools are only
used inside the greenhouse and there is little walking between the
greenhouse and the open areas.

in other words, will a screen protect the weeds from spreading? I
assume it is airborn somehow.
