Weeds ordinarily are far more tricky to remove if they are left unattended and given the chance to establish themselves. So you need to keep an eye out for them and the first sign of these culprits.

You should make certain your garden is well planted and if you do leave an area unplanted, cover it with a good organic mulch. This will stop any weeds from getting hold in your unplanted area and then from invading your plant territory. Also a organic mulch gives an natural feel to your garden.
In the instance where weeds have already grown when you found them, chopping them off from the ground is the most efficient way to remove them. Some of these weeds may stop once removed, but others will not stop even when you cut them down. But persistent cutting down of those weeds will help eradicate them for good after some time.
The application of herbicides and pesticides is also well advised, but it is not completely needed when you are able to do effective cultivation of your soil. Any pesticides and herbicides, peculiarly the commercially available ones, may prove to have other harmful results. It may also pose as a threat to other useful organisms living in your garden.In the case, when you have a big weed problem, you may use herbicides and pesticides in small amounts.
Mulching and composting are also good ways to help maintain the soil and ward off the weeds. Ultimately, you will not have to encounter huge problems in weed management if from the start, you are able to keep them from growing in your garden in the first place.
If you are really consistent in digging up your space, you will have made the most out of your vegetable garden and have practiced true growth control against weeds that can steal, kill and ruin your organic garden.
