This is how I get rid of weeds in my garden

Removing garden weeds occurs every 2 to 3 months. If weeds are not attended to, it will overshadow all your houseplants. 
I normally use the manual process of tilling using a sickle. It is an enjoyable activity but it requires a lot of time and patience. 

So, if you are curious how I do it, I documented my manual garden weeding process, you can watch it here. I do not advocate the use of neither herbicides nor pesticides.
