Well Spring has certainly sprung, and of course, so have the weeds. Weeding is probably the biggest time consumer in our garden, and over the past two years we have attempted to reduce this by mulching and improving the soil. How good the soil is, directly relates to not only the type of weeds in the garden but also how easy they are to pull up.
The theory has been proven this spring, with a distinct difference between those garden beds we have added compost too, and those we are only just starting to work on.
The up side of having loads of weeds, is there is always something to add to the compost. Compost in turn can be added to the garden to improve the effort of weeding, and the health of those plants you want to keep around, be it veggies or flowers. Funny how nature works like that.
The best method is hot composting, and will return the most nutrients back to the garden. There are a few tricks to hot composting, which are explained in the article below.
