>> I took a weed-whacker to one of my beds
I was trying to grow some perennials, and never figured out how to weed around them. I blinked, and all I had left were weeds.
I had to dig the soil out, screen it to remove the roots, then return the soil. Between tops and roots, a wheelbarrow-full. Maybe 2+ cubic feet, and it was a SMALL bed!
I saved a few plants and re-planted them, thinking "snapdragons" ... but no, just more weeds.
I keep thinking about renting a flamethrower, or whatever you call the propane weed-torches. They might not be any more efficient than a scuffle hoe or mattock, but it would make me FEEL better!
SongOfJoy, I want to learn some of your grandfathers favorite curse words. I think I wore mine out. They aren't working. The weeds just never wither up and die when I curse at them!
