It's the time of year when gardeners across America are prepping their yards for spring.  I recently stumbled upon a neglected part of my yard.  It's so full of weeds, that I'm not sure if I should completely redo the space, sick my gardener on the case, or don my iPod and tackle it myself.  

There is actually groundcover in this photo. It's totally been invaded by weeds.  Those little clovers are extremely difficult to eradicate.  The best way to prevent them from returning is to pull out the main root.  The root is difficult to find using tools, in my opinion, so I weed them by hand.  It's a lot of work and your best bet is to catch the clovers quickly, if you have the time and patience. 

 I'm curious.  How often do you weed?
