Hoe best for weed
control in gardens
Most home gardeners would
probably agree that weeding
the garden is an onerous chore,
but before you substitute a
£ilSfilical sprayer for your
garden hoe, be aware that the
use of herbicides in the garden
is likely ' to cause more
problems than it solves.
“The use of chemicals to
control weeds on such a small
scale just isn’t practical,” says
Ray McNeilan, Oregon State
University Extension home
gardening agent.
The problem is that most
home gardens have at least a
dozen or so vegetable varieties,
few of which tolerate the same
weed control spray.
Nor is there any one weed
spray for all the weeds that
compete with vegetables.
Weeds are best controllable
by shallow and frequent
cultivation, ideally with a hoe.
It may be hard physical work,
but it is more economical and

Also avoid the use of
fertilizers containing weed
