Weeds To Seed If Allowed Next Year
Weeds maturing around farm buildings produce seeds that ruin next year’s crop. Destroy them in August before seeds mature and spread. Cut weeds, pile, and burn to kill seeds. Around gardens and plant frames, manage weed seeds to reduce future growth. A further method is suggested.
