My wild and crazy garden is in need of some serious work. I’ve been making progress, but sad to say there are way more weeds blooming than I would like.
This calls for serious action. My strategy is to scope out an area, quickly pull up all the weeds at least waist high and get them out of the way. Then I put on my trusty gel knee pads (best money I’ve ever spent), get on my hands and knees, and pull up everything else. I use my hori-hori knife to get the deep rooted plants like dandelions. I call it my Garden Ginsu. I’ve spray painted mine flourescent pink so I don’t lose it. I still can’t figure out what happened to the first one I had.
Then, once I finish the section, I go back over it with a light sprinkle of Preen. I was reluctant at first, but one application of Preen is good for the entire season. It significantly reduces the weeding, which leaves more time for more interesting gardening activiites.
