Or at least, how? Do you uproot or do you just trim to avoid exposing seedbank?
Im curious because Im always paranoid about stepping on seedlings. I have some shredded mulch but obviously I want to move away from it going forward
I have a few aggressive species like Obedient Plant, Canada Anemone, and Wild Bergamot, who could theoretically help with this but i dont want 2 plants dominating my smol space essentially.
Do you leave the minimally aggressive annual foreign weeds alone (i.e. corn speedwell) for example?
I do still weed a lot. I’m on year 5 in my small backyard garden, and I still get invasives popping up. This year it’s lots of red dead nettle and wood avens.
I’m also doing a lot of work containing my natives that have really taken off. I don’t mind this at all though, I’ve been digging up my extra bee balm, columbine, wild strawberry, and virginia waterleaf to give to other gardeners starting out 👍
