What is the best way to kill weeds in a veggie garden w/out chemicals

Pull them. Mulch with compost . Cover all areas with several layers of news paper and cover them with mulch. Pull any weeds that appear.

Vinegar, salt and water mixed together and sprayed on weeds.

smother them. you can use use cardboard, wood chips, old carpet, there are black plastic mulch films.

i'v gone to strip gardens- the 4 ft wide plastic, lay it out, cut it to length, and make an x with a scissor or knife where you want to plant, then make the planting hole deep enough and plant. then i put mulch at the plants base....i used wood chips.

my current place has to many tree roots to dig a hole, but i still lay out the mulch film and leave a mowers width between the strips. my containers go on top of the film, no weeds.

Mix 1 gallon of white vinegar with 1 cup of table salt and 1 tablespoon of liquid dish detergent. Put the mixture into a plastic spray bottle and spray directly on targetedweeds. The oil in soap naturally breaks down the surface of waxy or hairy weedleaves.

Out down about 4 layers of newspaper set each layer as you put them down. Keep them wet. I put mulch on top of mine. (Don't use the comics).

I’ve used just plan vinegar in spray bottle with narrow stream aim for the weed. A little liquid soap helps it cling to weed but I’ve had success without.
