Hi,
Like the topic says. What is the best way to remove weeds from the garden? Easiest ? Maybe specific tool required?

Do you really believe that there is someone out there who would take on weeding as a job? A job is sitting in an air conditioned room looking at a computer screen, not out in the hot sun with a hoe. Even landscapers don't do it as they hire minimum wage laborers who work at not doing it rather than actually doing it. Work ethics are an extinct species. You know the old saying, "if you want something done do it yourself." I know. I am just a cynical old Texas redneck hillbilly.Has anybody said hire somebody else yet?
That has been me. I remember one old house that had been rented by an historian to write a book, she was amazed when I showed her all the ancient shards that I had found in the garden, living history. I used to take them home for my daughter, she had a whole shoe box full.Do you really believe that there is someone out there who would take on weeding as a job?
And to think I had a hoe in hand today!Do you really believe that there is someone out there who would take on weeding as a job?

Yes. absolutely it is possible. More than possible... it almost certainly would help. Planted thickly. It would also tend to improve that clay soil.... is it possible cover crops might help in the long run? My half acre lot is inundated with weeds probably because most of it is clay. I’ve been slowly amending the soil bed by bed. If I removed weeds, added a bit of decent soil, and planted a cover crop (in the fall?) would that help moving forward? What cover crops would you recommend for small suburban beds? I’ll appreciate any guidance.
