By properly maintaining your garden, you will accomplish three things:
Weeds are kept at bay, so that they don’t shade or absorb plant food and moisture away from the vegetable plants.
Surface soil is kept in an excellent condition for resisting drought, preventing evaporation of moisture from the soil into the air.
Insoluble plant food is converted into soluble (or absorbable) plant food through the action of fermentation, which is increased by loosening the soil to let in air.
Keeping Out the Weeds
The best means of keeping weeds out of the garden are numerous. The best one for you is going to be dependent on the condition of your soil, and what weeds are most prevalent in your area, what crops you are growing, and what the weeds’ habits are.
