Default Fun out of gardening

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.


I weed. I cultivate the soil frequently which disturbs the seedlings,
severs roots and brings up new seeds to do the same thing to. Weeding
is an enjoyable task for me, calming, centering. It's part of being a
gardener.


I suspect that a respect and appreciation of weeding only comes with age - a
rite of passage for gardeners.


I guess.....but I've always liked weeding. Of course I also enjoy
doing dishes by hand (while looking out the back window, daydreaming
and watching the birds).
