    Looking for a way to deal with any weeds that come up in my raised beds without disturbing my veg. Initially I was going to go for the roundup gel type stuff but there seems to be stuff going round about it being cancerous so don't want to put anything dangerous on stuff by my veg!

    any suggestions bar hand weeding?

    I would use a hoe between the rows and then hand weed any weeds in the rows or close to plants.

      Depending on the weeds coming through I would just hand weed them or hoe them out.

        Is your veg already in @Sarah Giles ? If not you could plant through weed control fabric or black plastic otherwise I'd say regular hoeing is your best bet..You could try putting some weed control fabric between the rows,it would be a bit fiddly but would keep some of the weeds down:blue thumb:
