Roundup does nothing about weed seeds, which is what the original

wouldn't use Roundup in the first place, but on ground that will
produce food??!? I don't think so!


So how would you handle the weed seeds? Is there a special technique that
works for you? I'm sure that more people other than myself would like
other proven methods instead of Roundup.


Just weed. Or use and old kichen knife and just disturb the ground around
growing seedlings when the weeds are at a very immature stage. A small
amount of effort every day or second day in soil that is cultivated as a
veggie garden is, makes weed control easy - just do a bit often.
