Default Fun out of gardening

What ever method you use would work better if you use Roundup or its

Roundup does nothing about weed seeds, which is what the original
poster's problem is. Nevermind that this is a vegetable garden; I
wouldn't use Roundup in the first place, but on ground that will
produce food??!? I don't think so!

Roundup kills weeds and therefore prevents most of your weed seeds.
Applying it several times after weed seed spouted will eventually
exhaust the weed seeds. Then you'll only have to deal with the ones
that get blown in or carried in by birds and animals. At that point
you can go organic.
