Frequently asked gardening related questions
Organic gardening manages perennial weeds (e.g., bindweed, couch grass) through persistent manual removal (digging out roots), repeated hoeing to exhaust root reserves, or smothering with thick layers of sheet mulch (cardboard followed by organic matter) over an extended period. Solarisation (covering soil with clear plastic in hot sun) can also kill weeds and seeds. Avoid tilling, which can break up and spread perennial weed roots. Focused, long-term effort is key.
