Mulch garden beds well and avoid overwatering.
🧠 Pro Tips to Keep Weeds Away All Season:
✅ Use Mulch Generously: A 2–3 inch layer blocks sunlight and prevents seeds from germinating.
✅ Apply Pre-Emergent Herbicide Early: This helps prevent weed seeds from sprouting in the first place.
✅ Improve Soil Health: Healthy soil supports vigorous plant growth, which naturally suppresses weeds.
✅ Don’t Let Weeds Go to Seed: One weed can create hundreds of new ones. Remove them early!
✅ Edge Your Lawn and Beds: Keeps creeping weeds like crabgrass and bindweed from spreading.
