Ludicrous question, I know, but I keep trying different techniques and
I'm not sure what makes sense. If you are weeding between
shrubs/perennials:

- do you pull up weeds, fork them up or hoe them?
- if you hoe, how do you deal with a very loose, previously mulched
surface, where the hoe just pushes the weeds around, rather than cutting
them off?
- do you spray deep-rooted perennials or try to dig them up again and
again?
- do you compost your annual weeds? If so, how do you identify/separate
perennials for the bin?
- how meticulous are you in your weeding? Do you get up every last tiny
weed, and does doing that make a real difference to regrowth?
- do you mulch to reduce regrowth? If so, what do you use and how much
reduction do you get?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Laura

My garden is untrimmed. I just let everything grow. If any plant or
weed gets too big I cut it down or pull it up. My garden is admired by
many visitors despite my lackadaisical methods.
