Herbicides Not Practical in Home Gardens Herbicides (weed control chemicals) are not practical in most home gardening situations. There are several reasons for this, one being economical - material is needed in such small quantities compared to the area to be treated Another reason is that some vegetables may be sensitive to certain types of herbicides, says Robert J Precheur, Extension home gardening specialist at Penn sylvania State University. Mulching is perhaps the easiest and most nractical way to con trol weeds in the home garden. Try A Classified Ad If- Pays!
