By Kathy Schwartz, Murray County Master Gardener Mulch beds now through the end of June. Use about 2 inches. Weeds can make it difficult for your garden to get enough water, nutrients and sunlight.
Every gardener needs a hoe of some kind. Maybe a small hand hoe, a tall solid scraper or a stirrup hoe. Lightly scrape around your plants between rows. This will stop seedlings when they are too small to pull by hand.
