The message
from David in Normandy contains these
words:

Does anyone have a weed free garden? I keep hoeing mine as they
appear and certainly before they get to seed but there must be a huge
number of seeds already in the soil. After a good shower of rain a
blanket of them always appears. Mainly chickweed. I've heard the old
saying "One years seeds seven years weeds". Has anyone had a long
established garden that is now weed free?

No, but I have managed to vastly reduce certain weeds. Each year I
choose one for The Purge, and focus on preventing it
seeding/propagating . This year it's the turn of dandelions, last
year was shepherds purse and the year before was plantain.
It does make a real difference to their ongoing populations in
subsequent years.


Janet.

Did you get rid of the Dandelion?
If so how did you do it?

I could not keep them down however I tried.
