Cultivating Annuals



Cultivate by hoeing to break up soil crusts and control
weeds. Shallow rooted annuals are injured by deep, vigorous
cultivation. Hoeing should be very shallow to cut weeds off
just below the soil surface. As the annuals fill in, hand
weeding may be the only practical alternative. Chemical
weed preventers are available but they have a short life and
must be reapplied. Most chemicals labeled for flowers do
not give control of difficult perennial weeds.
