What is this weed all over my soil?

[gardeningnovice5]

Does anyone know - and any tips on how to get rid of it? I dug over the soil before but it’s back and all over my beds!

a kind of oxalis.
spreads easily but is not harmful.
fixes nitrogen into soil - natural fertiliser.

Looks like a variety of normal seedlings...
Just scrape them / hoe them off.

Thanks. It produces tiny white flowers when it gets bigger. It’s everywhere!

It's a type of cress, the trouble is the seeds are in the soil and every time you dig it over you bring some up to the surface and they germinate. If you religiously remove them eventually the seed bank runs out and they only pop up occasionally, the trouble is if one manages to camouflage itself amongst a plant and set seed it starts again. Mulching with a decent layer of organic matter or bark and then disturbing it as little as possible is the best way to avoid this.
The other weed is oxalis, similar problem.

The trefoil leaves are Oxalis. The other leaves are mainly cotyledons or seed leaves, which have a limited variety of shapes and are difficult to identify, but one of the bittercresses isa good shout.

Weeding is like washing up - you can’t do it once and expect not to have to do it again.

Some seeds can lay dormant in the soil for years, and pop their heads up when conditions are right.
