What are the weeds? I detest weedkiller, so if they're something I can pull up or hoe out, I do, and if they're pestilential things like bindweed or ground elder I wait till the bed's empty, then dig them out.

I agree with Robert. I don't use weed killer just dig them out.

I've been hand pulling mine - its amazing how much you can get done in a couple of hours.

I always start with anything that doenst have a prickle... then go back and pull the thorny/thistley weeds out.  Anything i dont have time to pull gets strimmed!
