Very good advice on not letting things go to seed. Watch your weeds. Watch your self seeders (when I like them they are called volunteers!)
'Confetti' works much better than regular mulch. Great suggestion.
Creeping Charlie likes acid soil - early spring and late fall scatter lime. The mild kind. It got rid of mine in a section of lawn, but CC does as it is named and now I should do that again...." memo to moi"!
