How to manage weeds in vegetable garden?

[joncal]

Thanks for sharing those tips, Sargin! I’ve been having a similar struggle with weeds in my garden, and your advice on using mulch and cover crops is really helpful. I didn’t even think about planting close together to reduce weed growth;  that’s smart. I usually just try pulling them out by hand, but I might give the hoe and hand weeder a try to save time. Do you find one type of mulch works better than others?
