What types of weeds are growing. The ph of your soil may be causing some of the problem - certain weeds flourish in different types of soil. Have a soil ph test done. If you are pulling invasive grasses (Bermuda, crab, etc.) get some "Grass Getter" - organic herbicide by Monterey. You blend it with water and spray right over other flowers/vegetables. It's fantastic! Also, cut a good edging around the beds and put black plastic under any edging such as stones, concrete edging, etc.
Cheap, organic and effective weed killer:
1gal apple cider vinegar
2 c epsom salta
1/4 c Dawn
dissolve salt in some of the vinegar warmed up, pour into sprayer.
Last week, in my frustration at the weeds growing the cracks everywhere, I poured straight white vinegar and they were dead in 2 days...now I am hoping this will kill some roots of future weeds.
Round-up is brilliant! It kills the bees and soon we won't have to worry about weeding anymore!
If you pull off the weed seeds then use the natural formula mentioned above....or just hot water. Sounds like your weeds are reseeding killing the weed doesn't kill the seeds.
