i am so tired...................
 

...............................of pulling weeds.
i even hired my sister by the hour to pull them. (close to $500. later
more weeds are growing.)
we have several berms with new trees and some perennial gardens.
the weeds are everywhere!

i spent quite sometime using ROUND UP but i think this late in the
season it isn't working very well.

we have a couple inches of mulch on each berm except where the
perennial garden is.
is that the problem? not enough mulch?

thanks group,

Best time to weed in my opinion is before they show. Think light
cultivation before a problem not after. Thinking of all this as work
suggests perhaps downsizing.

You need an efficient weed extractor tool for this season of the
year. There are several drill-powered weeding tools available on the
Web that can speed up this heavy work to a more tolerable level. You
will also need a heavy-duty industrial drill to match up to the job.

Next season, more mulch (4 inches), minimum till. Disturb as little
soil as possible when planting and weeding.

Dee soona dee betta,

Ray

You can go with scratching in a pre-emergent weed-seed killer. These
products prevent weeds from germinating. Or you can spray Round-Up as soon
as you see seedlings. Or you can use an weedgard cloth and cover it with a
nice mulch. It'll smother all seeds that germinate and lasts for years. A
few weeds may still appear from windblown sources. Get the kind rain passes
through, don't use solid plastic.


we have a couple inches of mulch on each berm except where the
perennial garden is.
is that the problem? not enough mulch?

No matter how deep the mulch weed seeds will blow into it and germinate.
