hi~I wouldnt spray weed killer, it may kill whatever you plant there.Grab a shovel & start digging, & remove them that way.It would be less time consuming than grabbing & yanking.then you will have a clean slate..dig deep on some, you’ll know which ones as you go along…some roots run DEEP.maybe add some fresh soil from the store to it to compensate for any lost dirt…Good Luck !!
I would probably not spray weed killer since over-spray can easily kill wanted plants along with unwanted weeds. The best method is by hand or garden tool of choice. If you miss a weed and notice it later, simply pull off any blooms, this will at least prevent weeds from spreading. The best way ( I have found) to prevent weeds from returning is using newspaper. I put down several layers (5-6 layers) over where I have weeded, and cover the newspaper with mulch. The newspaper prevents the weeds I may have missed from surviving and decays over time and helps build better soil. It is better than landscape fabric because I can easily plant in it without getting something to cut the landscape fabric with. Besides it makes a good recycle. The key for the future is preventing weeds in the first place. And don’t worry if you have a few weeds, I dare say most people who garden do, if they’ll admit it.
