    Excellent Conor, My family had been farming a 76-acre vegetable farm for just over 100 years. About 3 years ago it was sold to a developer. My grandfather would say the secret to having a weed-free farm was to cultivate the crop before you ever saw the weed. We were always hoeing around the plants. We had two - 1948 Farmall Cub tractors with cultivators on them. They would cultivator the pathways first and then the works would come in and hoe around the plants. This would kill any weed seed that was trying to germinate in the soil. My advice for the small gardener or farmer is after a rainstorm the weed seed is most active to sprout roots so once the ground is dry enough to get back on,,,,,, get out there with your hoe or tractor and Cultivate your crops before the weeds show themselves. Enjoy, Ken

    Very informative, thank you from an ex chicken farmer now going to learn as much as I can to make a garden for my family as well as neighbors because I think it is so essential to eating healthy foods as well as being self sufficient in this time. God Bless you and your family in this time.

    Wow this is mighty impressive. I went to no-dig myself, they barely germinate at all now. Different kind of work though, putting all the compost on and making/sourcing it.
