I'm sure pulling weeds is everyone's favorite garden activity (NOT!). Anyone have some methods for keeping them under control? Around here, we seem to be having a particularly bad time with ragweed this year. It invades gardens, hedge rows and even lawns. The root system gets very tough and tangled. When you pull them out, you risk disturbing the roots of your plants several feet away. Turning over the soil & breaking it up just seems to multiply the weeds. Getting them out really slows down soil prep.
