Last year I had a problem with weeds growing among the watermelon vines. I couldn't pull them out without stepping on the vines. So, this year, I put down frost cloth thinking the melons could grow on top:
Only the weeds would push up the frost cloth in bubbles. So I spread bags around with potatoes in them:
Only, the weeds would grow out of the holes made for the melons, and, they can't be pulled out without pulling up the melons too, as they are entangled. Also, when I step on the bubbles, all the grass burrs would bend towards me, and leave hundreds of burrs in my pants. This is what it looks like now:
Any ideas for 2015?
