If you have too many weeds coming through your mulch tilling will not necessarily be rid of them. Are they perennial or annual weeds? Have you considered covering that area with a tarp to shade the weeds to death? Have you considered an herbicide? Maybe just more mulch? A groundcover will pr...

Thanks. Cover crops can be planted late so that they die over the winter, mowed or rolled down at the critical time during flowering so that they die, and they can of course be sprayed with non-residual herbicides too. I suppose they could also be rolled down and covered over with a tarp for a ...

You could mow it, or you could just leave it and let it fall down and decay on its own. Actually the best cover crop situation is when the plant residues last long enough to provide soil cover the following season too. That said, you will want species that will die and not go to seed in your ga...
