During hoeing season it's socially acceptable to use
one hoe to whack your weeds once you've mulched with
straw. If you don't mulch enough, the weeds will break
through and you may have to hoe again. Just run your
hoe lightly under the surface. Straw may fly everywhere
but no matter, things will still grow. Sometimes you
can get away just by adding more straw (8" thick works
best) but don't wait too long because the weeds may
grow beyond the point of hoeing and then you won't get
anything done hoeing like that. In this case, instead
of hoeing around, just pull the weeds by hand. Bottom
line, hoeing is quicker when weeds are small and just
a few minutes with a hoe can get it done.
Wait. What? Oh.
Never mind.
