Weeding can often feel like a never-ending job. And while I am all for leaving a little room for wild gardening and supposed 'problem plants', I appreciate that sometimes you might want your borders to look neat or your lawn to look perfect and pristine, no dandelion in sight.
Well, after several years working as a professional gardener in the UK and Italy, I have found that the best way to manage nettles, docks and brambles is the little-and-often approach. Rather than spending several hours on a Saturday, toiling in the dirt and finishing the day sore, defeated and blistered, I prefer to steal a few minutes here and there. Whether it is during a morning coffee break or while the dog is out in the yard, quick bursts of energy can make a real impact.
