Mulch is the answer for me. A thick layer around plants cut my weeding time by more than half.
How do you stop weeds from taking over without spending hours pulling them every week?

My garden starts clean, but weeds take over fast. What has actually helped you control weeds without making gardening feel like a second job?
AI Summary
Users recommended mulch, cardboard under beds or paths, close spacing, and pulling small weeds early. Most replies agreed that prevention is much easier than trying to rescue an overgrown garden later.
Answers & Discussion
Cardboard under mulch worked well in my paths. It looked messy at first, but after mulch it stayed clean for most of the season.
Pull weeds when they are tiny. Waiting even one week too long turns a five-minute job into an hour of frustration.
Plant spacing helps too. Empty soil becomes weed space, so I try to keep beds planted or covered.
