I started a large raised bed veggie garden about six years ago. Goes like gangbusters, love it.
I've noticed that every year, I've been getting more and more weeds in my soil. Mostly clover and grass (our lawn is a mix of clover and grass, though the beds separated from lawn by ~20 feet and 18" off the ground), and some other things as well. I've tried hay and mulch covering, hand picking, a collinear hoe, but they come back even worse every week, year. Things are very commingled with the plants I *do* want, which is making it harder and harder to manage.
Any tips? Thank you!
