Putting down a good quality week block cloth with a covering of hay should do the trick. You will get a few coming up, but if you pick them out when their small it is easy to control them.

Katrina H, you can do it inexpensively  if you just put down newspaper & or cardboard, soak it and cover with mulch of any kind.

Tena Barke · Answer

I agree with Sherrie S - it's inexpensive and effective! No chemicals - and will compost in the garden later.....make sure you layer thick.

I always lay a good layer of newspaper down, wet it, and then put my grass clippings over it all summer long. I even get our neighbors clippings. The weeds that do come up are easy to pull. The bonus is we don't have to till each spring, just turn it over, it's extremely easy to dig. And... we have earthworms galore!
