Weeding is an all-season job. But work smarter. First, have moisture in the ground. For the most success, it’s important to get the whole root system. Be careful to disturb the soil as little as possible, as you can inadvertently bring up new seeds. Use a thin, sharp tool to insert alongside the plant deep enough to encompass the roots. Give it a lift – wait a second – feel it let go – then lift it out.
