Pulling weeds is effective for small areas and provides immediate results without chemicals, but it’s labor-intensive. Spraying herbicides offers a less laborious method and covers larger areas, yet it can impact the environment and other plants. For best results, combine both methods: pull weeds first, then spray any re-growth. This approach balances efficiency and environmental concerns.
