    Elbow grease! Get in there and pull them out is the best weed control in a garden. If you put a chemical, even an organic one, in there you risk killing the plants you want to grow.

    I'm a true advocate of using boiling water poured directly on the weeds. Not only is it organic, it's free and you'll see instant results! No toxic results. As with all weed treatments, you'll need to be vigilant for reappearances and act quickly.
