Weeding can take up the majority of your time in the garden. However, it is possible to reduce the time spent weeding AND increase the amount you harvest from your vegetable garden. This video demonstrates simple weeding techniques which can help you to rid your garden of weeds and stop them from removing vital nutrients from the soil. We explain which methods work best for different types of weeds, as well as how to use mulches and weed barriers for future protection.
Another simple way to increase your harvest is to follow the planting advice in our Garden Planner which is available from several major websites and seed suppliers:

Lovely woods pov
Discovered 'Strultch' recently, straw mulch. It doesn't look like yellow messy yellow straw but has a nice brown colour. The BIG BONUS, slugs and snails hate it, the straw bits are too sharp for them to crawl over.
I put it around all of the plants that I want to protect and others just to stop them climbing up. Especially handy around the likes of vegetables, marigolds and sunflowers.
I've found that slugs LOVE bread. It's easy to collect them in the late evening or earlier on cooler/cloudier days. It's cheaper than beer, and the birds love the bread, too! (But watch out for the cat lurking :) )
You want easy? Cover the soil around your crops with brown cardboard, newspaper, or other non-glossy paper with little or no ink or that has vegetable based ink then cover that with straw or compost. Few if any weeds will grow through hence very little weeding necessary plus you'll save on water and have happy worms and soil. I miss the look of moist brown dirt but the benefits far outweigh that little issue.
Thanks for your comment Casey. It's rare to be able to eliminate weeds by hot composting in situ - usually a cubic metre of material is required for compost to heat up enough to kill annual weed seeds (see our video on composting for details). It's still worthwhile for feeding the soil and a good hotbed compost trench can sometimes help with getting earlier crops but you'll probably still need to weed by hand.
I am very convinced I wrote quiz back the present case!
This make me learn agriculture science thank you so much for making it easier 😁😁🤗🤗☘☘
The presence of weeds in the garden are quite difficult to rid off. As it is necessary to eradicate, I guess these tips are useful enough to solve from encountering problems regarding weeds. Nice information!
Lovely, thanks for taking the time to share your valuable knowledge and experience with us 😀
Very informative....Thank you :)
Interesting. We uploaded a video showing how to remove bindweed. Regular weeding is essential maintenance for the garden. Preventing weeds from going to seed is important. Mulch can limit sun and water getting to weed seeds.
Make weeds into compost tea .
I dump the green weeds and grass into water barrel and leave it sit outside for one week and then use it as liquid fertilizer
Great way to deal with weeds!
Awesome thanks
methods are 👍👍👍👌
Most important thing I learnt, is that there are no such thing as weeds. Merely, plants that respond to a certain condition or disturbance. In the case of unwanted "weeds", the control could be as easy as fixing the root cause. Poly crops and green manures are a good start. Composting them even if they are seeding should be ok if your pile is thermophillic.
Great advice there Marlon.
Very helpful
yeah. pulling them out. go figure
Great video 👍
I have that grass it's so frustrating 🤣 the roots are so long
Is chopping weeds 1 inch below soil surface enough to check regrowth of weeds having 3" to 5" deep roots?
Potentially, but it's always preferable to dig out the roots of perennial weeds whenever you can. You could also smother them with a light-excluding mulch or membrane.
thanks for the video.
But I don;t see any easy way here, just common ways to remove weeds
Hi. I see baby buttercups in your video. Just hoeing them and leaving them doesn't work in damp climates. They just keep growing, extending their roots back into the soil, even though the whole plant has been pulled on top of the soil. Sorry, the only way to be rid of these tenaceous guys is to take the effort to pull them all the way up - it's tedious, but saves hours later in the season. Put on some good music, and "enjoy".
Can't we mix the weeds in the compost ?
Annual weeds that haven't set seed can be put onto the compost heap, yes. As can the leaves of perennial weeds. But avoid adding roots, which may survive and then spread.

I have loads of groundelder in my garden is there a quick way to get rid of them? Michelle.
Michelle Jones No easy way. Just hard work of constantly removing all leaves to weaken the plant. Unfortunately in my garden it still has leaves under the fence in the neighbors garden which means I'll probably never eradicate it!
If I don’t pull the weeds out by the root....they don’t “die in the sun”. Those A$$ holes root themselves and grow again!
I’m 100% thinking of only container gardening next year. I’m getting too old to squat and weed so much. I need a solution 😣
Raised beds with fresh, weed-free topsoil could work. Also, make good use of mulches to really weaken and suppress weeds.

Try a stool. I have a garden stool on wheels. It works great, it can be a little hard for me to get up from if I have been on it a real long time, hours I get started and don't want to quit.
This doesn't cover a couple that I have tried. Let me know if these have been successful for you guys, or if I just got lucky:
1. Hot compost over winter. Putting a layer of 1-2" of fresh chicken manure on the bed in the late fall to burn off any seeds and to fertilize the bed. The areas of beds I have done this with have been easier to weed this year; however I have gotten some very virulent weeds throughout the areas. I am wondering if, like tomatoes, there are weed seeds that survive.
😍😍
Hell, I just use a rototiller every so often around the plants.

i just use my hands lol
Lololoooolool
Vinegar will kill weeds !

I hate weeds
I disagree with your classification of a weed.
