Right this may be a really silly question but is there anything you can do to cut down on the amount of weeding you need to do or at this time of year is it a weekly job?
Our garden has largish beds both sides of the garden abd a little channel next to the path. I spent ages clearing one bed and even sifted the soil. Three weeks later it looks as bad as ever with cress like weeds. I planted sone bedding plants which are now surrounded. I do try and get out there a couple of times a week when the weather is good and do some gardening but may not get a chance to do anything for a couple of weeks sometimes.
We have put down that black matting stuff in the front garden which helps but we are taking out a pond and re-doing the back garden nx summer so don't want to spend ages putting that down if we are changing everything.
Is there anything natural you can put down to slow the weeds growth or is it just a case of doing it weekly?
