Wise words on weeding

It’s a fine line between having a few weeds and having too many. Catch them small is Charles’s mantra: ● Weed little and often. It’s much easier than being occasionally overwhelmed.

● Use cardboard as a

mulch. Be thorough when mulching your veg patch for the first time, especially with perennial weeds. Having zero or almost no weeds is an achievable state and saves much time.

● Tolerate weeds in wild areas. Many have flowers that attract insects, but keep a tidy strip around your growing area.
