[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to do in a fast and easy way to clean up weed for gardening.  Can I dig all weed up with a big metal snow shovel & throw them in a trash bag, apply weed killer, put some garden soil & apply fertilizer/compost, put plants and saplings, and then apply mulch on the same day? I don’t think those weeds have deep roots, so shovel can get rid of most of them. With application of weed killer, I think weed leftover root should die on its own, right? [/quote]

Nix the round up. That stuff is really awful. And I'm amazed it is still sold here in the states.

Pull the weeds. Trash them. Put down some cardboard or news paper, and cover with mulch. Plant your plants in a way that they will grow densely when mature. If you do that, I promise you will have minimal weeds and weed control/pulling will be minimal in years going forward.

I live on a forest's edge, in a very wooded area (lots of weeds and naturally budding things that get blown into my yard). Using the above, my weeding is very minimal now as I let my plants do all the work. [/quote]

Plant more plants, people. Enough with the gas station gardening.

Although OP posted a month ago, so she’s probably done something to her yard at this point. [/quote]
