I have that same issue, it's like the gnomes come and throw weed seeds in my pots at night! lol

Here the 16x120 roll is about $30+ tx. Say, $35. I can get 7 out of a roll. I'd need roughly 100 of them times $5 each... I also have a bunch of pots larger than 16". Maybe worth it but I'd @9ah-figlet is saying the don't last, that's a lot of scratch for one season.

How big do they make scotch brite pads?

I just pull weeds. If it did not add a bunch of weight. I would probably use pea gravel. Cheap, well draining, Does not break down. But I move things around to often to try and make room for more.

Oh… the stirrup is just a hacksaw blade taped to a stick




It definitely kicks up weeds when I mow. The biggest issue I've had with mulch is it created a warm, damp environment for earwigs to move in. I mulched heavy one year and they were everywhere.... .

I would think the cedar mulch would repel them.

I thought the same and tried cedar. It didn't seem to bother them at all. My earwigs are special like that!

No matter how much I pull them, they just seem to keep coming back. If I mulch they come straight through.

Anyone have any clever methods for preventing this from happening constantly? It’s so tedious..

Have you tried spraying them with Surround WP?
