if tilled under will it come back on it's own next year? IS IT GOOD FOR VEGETABLE GARDEN TO STOP WEEDS?

As E. Thayer said it will compete with weeds. Clover is often used as a living mulch between rows of vegetables, berry bushes and fruit trees because it adds nitrogen to the soil, prevents erosion and suppresses weeds. Clover is very durable and I would say that after tilling some clover will return but you would have to re-seed.

No, it needs to go to seed to come back the next year. If tilled under without having gone to seed, it won't come back. It will slow down the weeds, but not stop them. You'll still need to hand weed your garden.

should work fine for that. it works well as a substitute for a hoe since the action of this tool is to cut the roots and base of weeds below thw surface. You still should remove the loostened plant / weed debris. But it helps maintaining a garden space much easier than removing each weed by hand.

You could just irrigate, or yes, apply again. Numerous instances of poor weed control occur each year because of the lack of rain or an irrigation event within 7 days of preemergence application. Additionally, irrigating-in the herbicide is an excellent method to prevent losses due to volatility and lateral herbicide leaching. Turfgrass preemergence herbicides essentially do not leach in downward direction beyond a depth of 2 to 3 inches due to binding to soil colloids and organic matter. But they can move laterally, particularly if heavy rainfall occurs shortly after application. Thus, irrigation will usually improve weed control and will help to prevent lateral movement.

No, you'll find that it is really effective on weeds with taproots, such as dandelions. You'll have the most success when the lawn is somewhat damp following some rainfall...and the trick is to ease it back, extracting the root a bit slowly. Even if some of the taproot breaks off, it would be some time before the weed could regenerate.

It will. I used similar weed barrier in just that fashion. However, I would recommend roto tilling the spot or spraying it first. Grass, especially Bermuda, is a real survivor and any advantage you can secure against it should be taken.

This is quite effective on weeds however, if the area where you live is windy and there are weeds in neighboring areas, the weeds will come back and grow from seed again. This compound kills the weed and the root so that specific plant will not grow again, a replacement seed brought by the wind can take hold and grow a nice new weed for you.

My experience with this is weeds will grow through, although it inhibits growth. Therefore, adding mulch on top will further deter unwanted competition. I do believe it is, however, designed and intended to be used in lieu of mulch.

Unsure. It would probably last for a few seasons but eventually it would deteriorate if left unprotected. i have mine in the house with several plants on it and am very happy with it under these circumstances.

Yes!!! I planted last year and veggies turned out wonderful. It comes with instructions on "How To" get the seeds for the next planting season. I did the tomatoes and I've already got them started in my seed starter greenhouse. I'll be planting them next month. Other veggies planned for this year. It's a great way to multiply your seed stocks.

I would think that once it dries you should be good to go. If you have big weeds you might be better off pulling them out as it would take spraying several times for it to kill them. Davesgarden.com is a good place to go for planting advice. There are forums on there and everyone loves to give advice. good luck :)

It depends on what part of the country you live in. This product will not kill existing crabgrass; it will only help prevent new seeds from sprouting. The question then is: has the crabgrass already re-emerged in your yard? If so, then it's too late this year for this product to help. If it hasn't re-emerged, then, yes, this product will help stop seeds from sprouting, and it will provide normal fertilizer for your law.

Depends on where you live, but I would wait until early next year (Feb/March). Grass doesn't grow well in the heat in general. I tried planting this last year in the summer and it didn't do much in the heat. When I planted it in Feb/March, it had enough time to take root before the heat hit in June and has been doing great.

I would say yes, it pretty much keeps everything gone for a few months. If you want to plant the area I would try using Roundup Weed & Grass Killer which is meant for Lawn Renovation/Garden Prep and In/Around Flower Beds.

We pull the plants and cover all the soil. Lot's of weeds will establish themselve's in the winter on a sunny day or two, but not through the weed barrier.

Yes it will but it's slow. It will pull grass and weeds out of the ground, roots and all. You will have to stop and rake the stuff out of the way as you move along the area. I have a mantis tiller which really tears up the ground but it doesn't pull the weeds out as well as the B&D.; My battery lasts for about 30 miinutes, but I have 4 batteries so not a problem....

It's best if you can be patient enough to let it wither away like you do when you use weed killer. Depending how much you have, you certainly can pull it out though and then reseed.

You can reseed a weeded yard. It will be more affected if the seed directly comes in contact with lose or bare soil.
