I think mechanical weed control is mostly a lost art,first off the soil needs to be in balance,then I like to disk several times before planting to kill off weeds that have sprouted.Once planted a rotary hoe works good before plants come up then I use disk hillers turned away from the row when the plants are very small then turn around the hillers to throw dirt between the rows when they are bigger gets almost all the weeds.Also with vegetables I plant the rows wide enough to go go between them with a narrow compact tractor and 4ft wide tiller,have it set about 2 inches deep and run pretty fast with the tractor does a good job.Some of the high value vegetable growers I know put down strips of black plastic about a month prior to planting where the rows will be this makes the weeds sprout and then die under the plastic take the plastic up and plant the vegetables.They usually get very few weeds,also some planters are capable of punching a hole in the plastic and planting the vegetable seed.
