hoeing

[charles]

No worries here, no dig alows you to hoe! It should be shallow, that is the virtue of hoeing when weeds are small. Hoe as shallow as you can so that weed roots are either cut, or disturbed, then you need a day of dry wind or sun to dry out their roots before they can re-establish. Leaving weeds in place is much quicker but grass is tricky because of its many fine roots which do re-grow unless you have a few days fine weather. Give it a try. Google ‘oscillating hoe’ to buy one of those as their sharp blade cuts though shallowly without going too deep.
