How do I fix this?
How do I fix this? My whole adult life I've only lived in high apartment buildings, so I really don't know what to do with all these weeds breaking through the pavement!
Been here two summers already. Last summer I tired ripping the weeds out but that didn't do much, cut them with a weed wacker, tried to poke at it to dig up the roots... I just don't know what I'm suppose to do.
Any advice would be very very helpful. Zone 5a/b.
The red retaining wall might be 100ish years old (it was much larger and taller but in time was restored smaller). I'm standing on my drive way while taking the picture.
Thanks
