How do you guys keep weeds out of your flower beds? We are in Wilmington, North Carolina, zone 8A.
A bit of a background – the house is three years old and I have built on what the builder put in and extended the flowerbeds to be wider. Have not really done anything for weed control, and it’s very difficult to keep up now. For now, I use pine straw as my flower bed in medium, in a season or two want to switch to bark mulch.
What are your suggestions to keep the weeds from coming back repeatedly? Layers of newspaper? Landscaping fabric? I want to stay away from chemicals.
Thanks!
