Weed control advice

10 years ago

This is my first year with our vegetable garden in our new place and I am having
serious issues keeping the weeds under control (crabgrass, nut grass,
lambs quarter, johnson grass, etc.). I sprayed a lot of them with
Roundup and it looks like it killed them but then they just came back to
life a few weeks later, very frustrating. So I'm thinking about next
year and trying to be more proactive on the front end. What
pre-emergent herbicide would you recommend for vegetable gardens? I'm
thinking I could wait until my seeds sprout, spray one post-emergent
herbicide then come right back and spray with a pre-emergent herbicide.
Hopefully with that strategy my desired plants would shade out most new
weeds that would come up after the pre-emergent herbicide wore off.
