We use manual weeding to control weeds in mulch and rock beds, as this method is both effective and environmentally friendly. By removing weeds by hand, we can target individual plants, ensuring that their roots are completely uprooted and preventing regrowth. This approach is particularly useful in areas where herbicides may not be desirable, such as around ornamental plants or vegetables, and it helps maintain a tidy, healthy flowerbed by reducing competition for water, nutrients and sunlight. While manual weeding requires regular effort, it is a sustainable way to keep flowerbeds free of unwanted vegetation.
