In every yard and every garden, weeds happen.  It’s a fact of horticultural life.

There’s no way to prevent weeds, but there is a proper way to treat and remove them.  Chemical treatments like Round-Up are one option, but many gardeners prefer pulling weeds by hand.  I only know these things from hearsay, since I am not, by any stretch of the imagination a gardener – however, through the magic of the Internet, I can find stuff to blog about and seem to be an expert – even if only an expert at finding things to share with you.

In this short video from Expert Village, Doug Smiddy shows us how to properly remove a weed by it roots to prevent regrowth.  All it takes is a simple hand-tool to do the job right.

He also reminds us that having a weekly weeding schedule makes the job easier to finish.
