Flower bed help!!!!!!?
Dig the grass out by hand.





That is the safest surest way.
Reply:all you have to do is turn out the lights,





if you put poison on the ground,the rains will wash it in to the soil and eventually it ends up in the subteranean water suplies that some one else could be pumping to drink,


MULCH


or you can mulch.cut down the weeds before they produce seeds and leave them where they fall,they will cover the ground and put even more organic matter on top,you can use saw dust,leaves green or dry





cover the ground with mulch which is the same principal as compost but it includes the whole garden surface


the top part of the soil where the topsoil is being produced houses a world or microbiotic life.





Mulch is organic material green or dry that covers the ground,the thicker the better the composting process will turn it in to black topsoil


an exelent mulch is forgotten or old bales of whatever ,straw or hay or alphalfa





the humidity is preserved underneath and promotes the devellopment of worms(their exists no better compost than their excrements)and a variety of micro biotic life which together with the mulch produce more topsoil.





the mulch also keeps the ground temperature even and guards against the impact of the rain ,which would other wise brings salt to the surfave if on unprotected land





Mulch also prevents the soil from drying out because of the sun and, lay it open to wind erosian.





and it turn out the lights for any weeds that want to come up you can even use cardboard or black plastic





WEEDING


and the first thing you should do is just pull out the grass but dont clean it just leave it on the ground to add to the mulch
Reply:byderule is right, right, right. Pull the weed...leave it or don't, but PALEEZ mulch, mulch, mulch.make up
