I wantto plant veggies and herb this spring, but my garden is always overrun by weeds. Even when i dig them all up, they seem to gorw back thicker 3 weeks later! I keep hearing that mulch helps, but how would that work if I try to plant from seed, or transplant seedlings into the garden? Do i make a small clearing in the mulch? Wouldn't really work well if the mulch is a few inches or more think, and the opening might have to be really small for fear that weeds might get some sunlight! I heard about a black plastic. Is this better? Would I be able to keep this black plastic on the garden bed 9with holes cut out for my plants) all summer long or will this eventually hurt the soil? |
