Weed Control in New Jersey Vegetable Garden

9 years ago

My wife and I have a vegetable garden here in New Jersey (24'x24' fenced area, get good sun about 4-6 hours a days), typical tomato's (Big Boy & Beefstake), some hot peppers, zuchini, cucumbers, and eggplant. Over the years we struggle with weed control, usually just hand picking the weeds but I was wondering what if there is anything I can use to control the weeds? I use a product on my lawn (Brand Name Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns) and wondering if I could use something like this in my garden, would it be harmful to the garden vegetable planes? The listed Active ingredients are:

  • 2,4-D dimethylmine salt - 7.59%
  • Mecoprop-d acid - 1.83%
  • Dicamba, dimethylmine salt - .84%
  • Other ingredients - 89.74%


Just getting tired of picking the weeds and would like to control them in a better way. Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!
