How do kill weed that grows under bushes indeed. Puts gravel/mulch/wood chips around base.
Drip irrigation can be effectively implemented under mulch in a garden by laying the drip lines directly on the soil before applying the mulch. This method helps conserve water by delivering water directly to the plant roots, reducing evaporation. The mulch helps retain moisture and prevent weed growth, promoting efficient watering and healthier plants.
To prevent grass and weeds from growing around trees, you can apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree. Mulch helps to suppress weed growth by blocking sunlight and preventing weed seeds from germinating. Additionally, you can manually pull out any weeds that do grow and regularly maintain the mulch layer to keep the area weed-free.
To effectively prevent weeds in your garden bed, you can use mulch to suppress weed growth, regularly hand-pull weeds before they spread, and consider using landscape fabric or weed barriers to block weed growth. Additionally, planting densely and using organic weed control methods can help keep weeds at bay.
A mulch is a covering of straw or compost, spread on the ground around plants to prevent excessive evaporation, to enrich the soil and to prevent weed growth
The mulch-till system disturbs the soil prior to planting and accomplishes weed control with herbicides and/or cultivation.

Diluted salt or vinegar sprays, landscape fabric, mulch, pavement, weed-eaters and weighted-down plastic sheeting count among the best weed killers for fence rolls. Mulch may be most effective as inorganic substances, such as decorative pebbles. Equipment such as hand-held pruners, rakes and weed-eaters tend to control grassy growth.
there are weedkillers that can selectivly kill grass, ask in a gardening store. Weed killers are toxic to you and the environment. Get as much grass out by the roots as you can and mulch like crazy under the phlox. Weed cloth can be purchased in the same store as the weed killer, so can the mulch. Lay down the cloth in early morning or evening and cut slits for the phlox. Gently pull the phlox through the slits, and flatten the cloth as if you were making a bed full of flowers. Mulch over the top of the cloth. Try not to get too much cloth or mulch around the stems of the phlox, that can create several negative situations. The benefit of this over weed killing chemicals is that it's more effective, retains moisture, it isn't toxic to you or any other critters. If you ever decide to grow more phlox or mingle other flowers, push aside some mulch and punch a hole in the cloth.
Yes, using mulch in a raised garden bed can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Yes you should either spray them with a weed killer or simply use a shovel and dig up the sod layer, that is what I do each time I expand my flower beds. No more weeks. You can also use a recycled rubber mulch which lasts for 10 years, cuts way down on the mulch work.
The difference between hay and straw as mulch lies in straw being cleaner and having fewer seeds in general and fewer weed seeds in particular.
