Act quickly and weed when they are still seedlings.
Never let weeds flower and set seed.
Take steps to prevent weeds by covering borders with mulches and groundcover plants.

Tackle hard to reach weeds on patios and pathways with a targeted weedkiller.
Never throw weeds on your compost – put them safely in the bin!
