you may want to try this non dangerous method of killing off bunches at a time. It is not fast but it clears areas rather well. Open black plastic garbage bags. Spread newpapers over an area of weeds. Cover with the opened flattened bags. Weigh down with rocks. Give it about a month and all the vegetation will be dried up. Break up the soil and remove tops and roots.
The same kind of covering can be used when replanting the area. Open up the bags only big enough to put in through the new plants. The bags will keep the flower beds free of weeds.
Don't be afraid to use a hoe. They are a great ecological way to fight unwanted weeds too.

Use a weed killer.Pull the weeds then bark over it to help stop them coming up.Pull all the the plant out,not just the leaves,it will re-grow back from the roots.

Quick fix: Lay down 7 to 9 layers of newspaper. cover with mulch. Lack of light will kill weeds plus you get instant results of a finished garden bed.

Practice mulching. There are so many ways in doing so. Check your local Library I bet they have a lot of books for you on gardening solutions. That's where I got most of my garden information's.

Don't get sick, gardening is fun.

To keep seed from weeds from germinating apply corn gluten meal to the soil. It prevents the seeds from sprouting. But if you are planting any other things from seed, it will prevent them from sprouting also. The corn gluten meal will need to be re-applied several times a year. It is organic and will not harm the soil or environment.

mulch your gardens, pull out the big weeds, spray the smaller ones with a glyphosate based herbicide or selective herbicide if they are in your lawns.

Possibly use a pre emergent herbicide such as ronstar which will stop any new seeds from germinating

Then til it under and (If you'd like sterilize the soil) start over. Once you get it tilled, before you begin to plant again, put down a weed barrier.

Hi

One of the common problems in lawns is an abundance of weeds getting ready to take over the grass that is growing in your lawn. Weeds can be prevented and taken out of your lawn through simple methods. However, there may also be an invitation for more weeds to grow in your yard if the right preventative measures aren’t taken in getting rid of weeds in your lawn. Here are ten things that you should keep in mind and not do when getting rid of the weeds in your yard.

1. Don’t mow at the wrong time. One of the ways to encourage weeds to grow is through low mowing. This won’t allow you to see the weeds as they grow, and will cause them to seed easier, spreading faster through your yard. It is also best not to mow right after you have applied a weed killer, as this will cause the killer to be picked up out of the ground, instead of moving into the weeds.

2. Don’t avoid putting fertilization in the yard. If you don’t fertilize your yard, there won’t be enough nutrients available for your grass. The nutrients that are in the soil will go to the more deeply rooted weeds, which will eventually take over the yard.

3. Don’t fertilize at the wrong time of the year. Depending on the type of fertilization that you decide to use, you should put it in at a certain time of year. Most of these are best in the early spring or early fall. If you put the fertilization in at the wrong time, then it may cause weeds to use the fertilization, as the grass will be stressed from the sun or from other factors.

4. Don’t over-water. If the soil can’t soak up the water that you are giving to the grass, then it is a perfect opportunity for weeds to take the extra water for their own growth. It’s important to make sure that the water is all going into the soil and being used for the grass.

5. Don’t have too much shade. By having shade from bushes or trees, weeds will have an extra chance to grow. Many different types of weeds begin in the shade, as they don’t need as much sunlight, then spread to other parts of the yard. By cutting back tree branches and bushes, this will prevent weeds from growing.

6. Don’t apply herbicides with low soil moisture. While herbicides are used to prevent weeds, doing this when the soil moisture is low will cause damage to the grass as well as not be effective in the prevention of weeds.

7. Don’t add herbicides to new sod or to newly planted seed. If you add herbicides or weed remover before the grass has a chance to grow, it will have the opposite effect than what was intended for the growth of the grass.

8. Don’t use the wrong kind of weed killer. If you use the wrong kind of weed killer, it may cause the opposite effect from what was intended, or have no result at all. It may also damage the grass.

9. Don’t use weed killer in the wrong season. If you use weed killer in the summer, it will most likely evaporate instead of moving into the weeds. The weeds also aren’t really growing in the spring and fall, making it easier to kill them and prevent them from growing in the summer.

10. Don’t use the wrong prevention method. There are several different types of weeds, each which thrive in certain types of environments, with several different factors in relation to the nutrients that are available. It’s important to choose the right type of weed killer, and to identify which type of weeds you have. By doing this, you will be able to kill the weeds easier. You will also allow less maintenance time in getting rid of the weeds in your yard.

By knowing the exact method in taking out weeds in your yard, you will be able to follow an easier process for getting rid of the weeds in your lawn. You will also be able to prevent more weeds from appearing without having to do as much maintenance in your yard. By not knowing exactly what to do for weed prevention, you may be inviting more weeds to grow in your yard.

Hope that helps?

Take care
