- No-till gardening improves soil health and plant strength but brings new challenges with weed control
- Perennial weeds like bindweed and thistle need long-term strategies such as tarping to starve out their underground root systems
- Fast-growing annual weeds spread quickly by seed, making early removal essential to prevent future infestations
- Cover crops such as rye, oats, and wheat naturally block sunlight and suppress weeds while feeding your soil
- Mulching with straw, wood chips, or crop residue shields the soil, stops weed seeds from sprouting, and builds long-term fertility
