To manage weeds in your vegetable garden without chemicals, try these simple tips:
1. Use Mulch: Put straw or leaves around your plants to stop weeds from growing and keep the soil moist.
2. Weed Regularly: Pull out weeds often, especially after it rains when the soil is soft.
3. Use a Hoe: A hoe can help cut weeds at the soil level.
4. Cover Crops: Plant something like clover during off-season to keep weeds away.
5. Plant Close Together: This can shade the soil and reduce weeds.
I have been using these methods for a while now and it works for me, most times I do try using these methods to weed every week or two, and it's convenient for me. Use tools like a hand weeder or garden hoe to make it easier. Good luck!
