It's bothersome the first year, but after you knock down the initial crop,

you think, especially in later years.

Hand digging the weeds works the same and is about as effective.


But is a *lot* more work. In fact, what drove me to use chemicals was the
fact that I couldn't stay ahead of the weeds even though I was out on my
hands and knees almost every day, and I have a small (600 square foot)
lawn. I'd prefer to weed by hand, but there's no way...
