It would be nice if you dealt with the weeds in your beds and borders once and, job done, they didn’t come back. But what you can do is make dealing with subsequent generations easier. A thick mulch works wonders, suppressing seeds in the soil below but making any seedlings that arrive on top easy to fish out. I’ve used composted green waste from the council, sterilised by the heat of its decay, and it has worked a treat, whereas my own compost off the heap would produce millions of unwanted seedling weeds. SponsoredThick gravel can be used as a mulch if it suits the circumstances.
