Pull weeds after rain when the soil is soft. You get more of the root and it is less frustrating. I also use a weeding tool so I am not destroying my back.
Mulch helped more than anything in our garden beds. Pull the weeds first, then put down a thick enough layer so new seeds do not get light. A thin decorative sprinkle does almost nothing.
