    It should only take about five or ten minutes every few weeks or so to pull out the surface weeds from that size area. :blue thumb: :noidea:

    weed cover

    I think one of the ideas of continuous hoeing, well frequent hoeing anyway, is that apart from killing the weeds you cut through it gradually exhausts the store of weed seed in the surface layers.

    Waterlogged Garden

    I agree with Spruce, there is nothing you can do unless you dig it up. Drainage channels are a good idea and digging sand or gravel into the soil will help with drainage too.
