I have followed your weed seed depletion practices for 2 years now. My garden is basically weed free. I walk through the garden with that single tine cultivator in hand a couple times a week and I find very few weeds. I also use the wheel hoe to keep the entire garden nice and fluffy especially after a significant rain fall. You’ve taught me a ton and I appreciate it.

[@texasgardenerrobert8341]

In July, I call them living pathways.

[@laurab8547]

I learned my lesson this year when I didn’t take care of the weeds in our 40ft long in ground bed. We left it un attended over the winter and weeds filled the whole bed and it took us days and days to get the weeds out just so we could amend the soil. Next year, we will put all the beds that we aren’t growing in over the winter to sleep by covering them with a good weed barrier cloth.

Great info. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁

[@marciawarden5021]

I love my raised bed garden, I’m older and it’s much easier! ❤️

[@emilypulled312]

I’m older than dirt, and I appreciate all of your videos, because there’s things that slip the mind that you point out. Looking forward to your next video.

[@ahabthecrab]

I always struggle with weeds in my melon, squash and sweet potato beds. Its pretty difficult to get in there and pull weeds when the vines are everywhere. Any suggestions for what to do with weeds in these vining type crops?

[@DV-ol7vt]

I made the mistake of letting lamb’s quarter, and chick weed go to seed in my garden and now it’s a invasive weed that covers my raised beds and in-ground garden. Yes, I know I can eat it, that’s why I let it grow, and now I’m paying the price.

[@Maria-ql3fc]

I'm now a believer in thick mulch even though it harbors slugs, snails, and other garden pest. Nature keeps itself covered at all times unless man disturbs it. I love piling up the fall leaves and keeping them a little damp and the biological activity is enormous . The worms gravitate to it and I open the middle and pile in the green garden scraps, crushed egg shells and old chicken manure. You'd be shocked at how fast that chicken poop turns all that into fabulous compost for the garden.

[@halsmith2174]

I’ve used weed cloth with success Seems to work really well with leaf mulch on top.

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

I enjoyed this! I do occasionally spot weed with a product which shall remain nameless, but it rhymes with wound pup. I have neighbours who completely ignore their back yard and nasty weeds are always trying to sneak past the fence line. Just yesterday I downloaded a free app for my iPhone that identifies plants, I now know that I am having a problem with Mouse Ear Chickweed!

[@marysurbanchickengarden]

I'm gonna try some weed barrier this year around the raised beds and the small in ground space.

[@willstafford4159]

I like the paper weed barrier, I think it’s worth considering

[@viper04af]

it works, but any soil on top the barrie a seed will germinate and the taproot will get right through the barrier !!!

[@hardstylzz5024]

Dang your video showed up early this friday, normally it shows up at 8pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Its fine with me good to change it up.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yeah I think I accidentally scheduled it for AM instead of PM. Oh well! lol

[@FMNsocial]

It was kinda nice though! I find watching my gardening videos early on in the day inspires me to get up and do things!

[@79PoisonBreaker]

in my area when the first dandeliion blooms it means its time to start planting. love that "weed".

[@chrisfisher3900]

I have got rhizome grass that got under all my beds and made it all the way to the top

[@AnenLaylle7023]

Black landscape fabric with holes burned in.

[@Cj-yr3pq]

Recently found your channel on germinating seedless watermelon and had great success. Thanks from Monticello Georgia

[@flyfishdr]

#6: use a tarp for a few weeks It will suppress weeds during their growth season

[@dannymeeks3801]

Thanks Travis ; great information, we’ll do!

[@tonyajackson8827]

I’ve been fighting the battle with Canadian thistle every year for about five years now here in Zone 5b. If anyone has any advice on how to get rid of it, I’d be grateful!

[@mikelaster662]

Can you use a preemerigent

[@ardenthebibliophile]

Why do you have 10' walkways? Is that for a tractor to get in?

[@LazyDogFarm]

I wanted them wide enough to drive my Kawasaki Mule between the plots.

[@peelmeone]

Red root pigweed is amaranth? Some people also call goosefoot (lamb's quarters) pig weed.

[@allnight3071]

What about a weed torch? I have nut sedge bad and nothing slows it down!

[@79PoisonBreaker]

unexpected video early :) pleasant surprise

[@pamelaroden5513]

Can you grow rocksberg figs? Supposed to taste like raspberries?

[@LazyDogFarm]

Not familiar with that variety, but I'll keep an eye out if I see any.

[@BustinRootz]

Number one again

[@Flachickenman]

That is sad if that makes your day!

[@marlinkirby5723]

HERE IN ARK.WE CALL PIG WEED CARELESSWEED BECAUSE IT COULDN'CARE LESS WHERE IT GROWS.

[@LazyDogFarm]

You'll hear it called that here too! lol

[@kimedmonson3134]

😮

[@sislertx]

I weed every day and they still win...but not every day do they win...in fact I'm headed out to weed now.

[@rickthelian2215]

Would flame burning be an option with weeding or heating up the fire ants nests.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Never tried burning ants, but it might work.

[@viper04af]

i don't think you ever had to deal with freaking johnson grass, its nuts, even with raised beds it just grows freaking everywhere and you cannot kill it. open to any tips !

[@hopemorrison2367]

Weed barrier fabric

[@richardrbrynerjr.7912]

The dandylion is not a weed and is very good for health and very important to the bees!
