Raised Bed

whatever1 · Apr 12, 2020

I have 3 raised beds in a fenced area with fabric under gravel between the beds. After some neglect weeds are growing in the stone. Last fall they were left to die on their own. Now I have brown weeds on top of the gravel.
Anyone have any ideas on either an easy way to remove them or any tools that would help ? Almost like something to sift the gravel....

Thank You

Hand held propane weed torch. Connect to a 1lb or 20lb bottle, burn 'em to a crisp and maybe kill off some of the weed seed at the same time. Also works great on new weed growth. Light pass, just enough to sear the tops, kills off most. AND as a bonus, it's just fun to use

Use the same one and it works great! Also good for starting camp/brush fires.
