Apply Organic Mulch

5
  1. Solution: Cover the soil surface around garden plants with a thick layer (2-4 inches) of organic mulch.
  2. Explanation: Mulch (like straw, shredded leaves, wood chips, or grass clippings) blocks sunlight, preventing weed seeds from germinating. It also conserves soil moisture, regulates soil temperature, and decomposes over time to enrich the soil.
  3. Notes: Very effective preventative method. Needs replenishing annually or as it breaks down. Keep mulch slightly away from plant stems to prevent rot.
