As part time residents, weeds are on top of our list of problems. It seems like every time we are able to carve out some special time to go to our Villages home, we end up spending way too much of our limited time pulling weeds. It's getting to the point where we are considering just getting rid of our gardens and planting grass everywhere. It's a shame because the gardens are beautiful for a couple of weeks after the weeds are pulled, but it is a never ending job. We have tried everything including commercial grade landscape cloth covered with a thick layer of stone as well as various non-chemical weed control methods, but nothing works.
