Re: Garden Planning
I love weeding, as long as it's not turf or tansy. I want to blow torch all our tansy!! Great idea!
I'm not using my entire garden this year. It's big and I have a 1-year-old, nuff said. The parts I'm not using I covered with black garbage bags weighed down with rocks. That will kill all weeds. When it gets hot, the weed seeds will bake under the black plastic and become sterile. (You can use the method to expand your garden, too. Do this the year before and the next year all the weeds and turf will be dead, no weed seeds either.)
If you can get free newspapers, you can use several layers of newspaper and cut an X where you have a plant. For seedlings you have to wait until they're bigger, though, and it's not as effective because the weeds have a head start. You can Google lasagna gardening.
