Weeding can feel relentless during the growing season. Leave the garden unattended for even a few days in spring or summer, and you'll likely return to find dandelions, docks and other self-seeding weeds taking hold in your borders.
Rather than relying on chemical weed killers, which can harm wildlife and the wider ecosystem, a more sustainable solution is to grow plants that naturally suppress unwanted growth. By forming a dense canopy over the soil, these varieties limit the space and light that weeds need to germinate and thrive.
