Hi all;

Last year i started a small veggie patch no bigger than a foot wide and 6 ft long. I grew beetroot and carrots and to my surprise was a success.

This year i am growing onions and parnsips in the veggie patch and planting the carrots soon. While all is growing well my main problem is weeds in the patch, anyway you can stop them?

Thanks
