    morning everyone,

    In need of assistance just brought a new home first time with a garden and have the bottom third of the garden with a load of bone weed thistles and other nettles. There is also a walnut tree in the centre was just wondering what would be the best way to clear it all?

    I would have a have a go to tackle it my self at first but I protect my skin with gloves and other appropriate attire dont just pull out the weeds but. Be sure to remove the underground rhizomes completely or the weeds have the habit of growing back quickley

    Someone once suggested to me Close mowing or “weed whacking” can retard growth as well. Yet i prefer hand, trowel ,and shovel you could resort to chemical s or use what I use whiter vinegar, with salt or soap in water to combat weeds or IAn another surggestion rwould be to get someone else to do it like landscaper etc
