How to get a weedfree garden

I know that many are struggling with weeds, but if you would like to get rid of the weeds you should do as I do - cover the soil with plants, so the weeds can't find space to germinate.
In this little video I'm taking you on a tour in my spring gardens and show you some of my daffodils and tulips. I'm telling how you can plant the tulip bulbs, so the most of them will come back year after year.
Happy spring.
My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.

I appreciate your suggestions on how to avoid weeds and -as the popular saying goes-, “seeing is believing”, your garden proves this to be true. Thank you for posting the names of the plants. And could feel your surprise and joy when you saw the white fritillaria! I gasped when I saw your “babies” in the greenhouse. Everything is lovely!😁. Thank you for inviting me in.

I don’t have a green house but, I due have a small back room with lots of window that, I could put my trays in. But, how hot or cold should I keep the room?
