Does anyone have any advise on preventing weeds organiclly? I am currently useing plastic mulch and want to get a weed torch.

My garden got away from me last year, and now I have alot of weeds standing in it waiting to drop their seed. I thought I would mow it and them take the leaf blower and try to blow the seeds away. The more I think about doing this the more I don't think it will be effective. Can anyone offer a more effective approach?

Take a look at my garden pics. Do you see weeds? I have very few in any of our 5 raised bed gardens. The secret isn't that I have tons of time to spend weeding or that someone weeds for me. Weeding is why I hate gardening and love Raised Bed Gardening. The SECRET... It's the soiless mix the I use. This is Vego-Soil from Mark Webber landscaping. Is it expensive is the next question. What is it worth to me to get great results from our garden and very few weeds? I've found that things of value tend to cost more but the rewards are well worht the cost of $130/ yard (32 sq ft). I would love to hear you comments.

I found a very good site called the weekendgardener.net that has really helped me with starting my garden. I have compressed my garden, packed it full to prevent weeds from growing and last year it really worked!!!!!

I plant a thousand plus bulbs each fall: mostly tulips. I do have patches of daffodils, though, and every fall I had trouble remembering exactly where those patches were. I didn't want to dig them up and damage them. My solution was to plant grape hyacinths on top of all my daffodil patches. The grape hyacinths send up foliage in the fall, thus telling me where to avoid digging. They also make a wonderful blue contrast to my bright yellow & white daffodils, which is lovely.
