There is no such thing as organic weedkiller, so organic gardeners need to be prepared to hoe them or pull them out! However, you can reduce the need for endless weeding by using a mulch around growing plants, or by covering patches of soil when not in use to prevent weed seeds becoming established.

Flame weeders provide an excellent way of removing weeds without resorting to chemical weedkiller or spending many hours on your hands and knees!
