The easiest way to manage weed seeds is to look for them in the first place. If you have seeds growing in your garden, you’re going to need to pay close attention to what’s going on in the environment. You can usually tell if a weed seed is growing in the garden simply by looking in the soil and seeing if there is any discoloration around the soil or if it’s a little darker in color.

Unfortunately, this is one of the more difficult situations for a weed seed to grow in, as they need a damp environment and light for them to be viable. They also don’t like being cold, which is why you won’t find weed seeds in the middle of winter.

Fortunately, you can control weed seeds by keeping your garden well-maintained and watching out for seeds growing in your garden. If you’re not careful, you can be very surprised by how fast weed seeds can grow. The best thing you can do is to keep a close eye on your garden and catch any weed seeds early on so that you can get them under control.
