Low-tox, low-stress ways to keep your garden looking good.

Weeds. They pop up where they’re not invited, they spread like wildfire, and somehow, they always come back, usually right after you’ve pulled them out. If you’re sick of the cycle but not keen on harsh sprays or toxic treatments, there’s good news. You can keep weeds under control naturally, with a few clever tricks and a bit of consistency.

Here’s how to do it.

1. Start With a Proper Clear-Out

Pulling weeds by hand is satisfying (kind of), but only if you get the roots. Otherwise, they’ll be back before you can blink. A full garden bed refresh—dig, clear, rake, and remove—gives you a clean slate to work with. It’s worth doing right the first time.

2. Mulch Like You Mean It

A thick layer of mulch doesn’t just look good—it blocks sunlight, helps retain moisture, and stops weeds in their tracks. Use natural mulch like bark chips or straw, and keep it topped up throughout the year. Bonus: it also keeps your soil cooler in summer.

3. Crowd Them Out

Weeds love space. The more gaps in your garden, the more room they have to take over. Plant densely where you can and use groundcovers to smother weed-prone patches.

4. Stay Consistent

Weeds are opportunists. Regular maintenance—like seasonal weeding and mulching—makes a huge difference in keeping them away for good. A once-a-year blitz won’t cut it if the rest of the time they’re free to roam.
