Weed Control Around Blue Agave Without Herbicides

Weeds persist in a rock bed around a blue agave. Avoid herbicides—agaves have shallow roots vulnerable to chemical uptake. Instead, hand-weed and apply 2–3 inches of pea gravel or quartz mulch. This suppresses weeds dramatically, highlights the plant, and makes occasional weeds easy to spot and pull.

Simple, safe, and aesthetically pleasing.
