P.S. Can I borrow Jack? I have some work for him! I feed and water well and appreciate greatly!
That is so funny!!
If you did not live clear across the continent I would gladly let you borrow Jack. He is good a digging and especially good at pulling roots.
Yes, you have the correct idea for 'solarizing'. All you need is plastic and some hot sun.. and I guess a few rocks or bricks to hold the plastic in place. Some more experienced folks can explain it in more detail. I like to use Google Images, put in the key words 'solarizing weeds' and get ideas to see how it was done by many different people.
