It'll eventually slow down but it is a never ending battle. The only thing I've found that stops it is putting down a sheet of plastic or something down the row and cutting a hole in it for the plant to grow out of. Space your rows far enough apart that you can run the tiller or cultivator down it to break up that grass or plant the plants far enough apart that you can cultivate around it and pick/hoe whats close to the plant. That's what I do, I hate laying the plastic. Did it 2 years then jsut started planting far enough apart to till between plants and pick the rest. It only works with tomatoes, peppers and plants like that. Peas, beans, melons, corn and okra always get planted too close to do so, but the grass never seemed to bother them too much. That and I think the grass kind of helps keep the melons cool.

I plant my stuff in rows. Then I lay down newspaper and straw everything. No weeds, no picking. Maybe an occasional weed but for the most part none.

One patch hasnt tassled yet. Thnkng about just pulling that and starting over. There is still time for second try if I hurry.

Get some bamboo stakes and string. Used to work for a wheat scientist at the university of Georgia. That's what we did when we had plants that would lay down in the green house. Always works.
