I'm curious if others who garden have really bad weed problems that can't be
solved with mulch & putting stuff down between rows?

I find cardboard or brown packaging paper between rows, & layering the whole
garden with grass & straw reduces all but a few random weeds.

I don't understand the value of weeding robots outside large agriculture.

~~~

That method only works for about one season, and then you have to redo it all.
I guess if you like gardening redoing the cardboard isn't so bad, but I'd
rather focus on the plants and not the cardboard.

~~~

you have to redo the garden every season anyway

I don't redo everything every season! I like to garden smart, not hard. Check
out permaculture.

Last year, I put down cardboard and mulched - planting strawberries directly
in the mulch and piercing through the cardboard. Fast forward a year, now that
the cardboard is pretty composted, the strawberries were established last year
had root systems in place, broke through the cardboard, and beat most of the
weeds. The weeds can't thrive because the strawberries are taking up all the
sun.

~~~
mattferderer
Sounds like you have a similar effective way for handling weeds. My main point
was that I don't think most gardeners have an issue with weeds in their
garden.

Side note, using large pieces of cardboard or packaging paper goes fairly
quick. I wouldn't consider it hard or time consuming.
