If there is anything we usually have an abundance of it is weeds. But we have found a good solution, carpet. Yes carpet, old used carpet. We cut it in strips as long and as wide as the space between our rows. It keeps moisture, mud off your shoes, and does not let the weeds grow. You can usually get some from the dumpster of anywhere that sells carpet or floor coverings. Always asking first is a good practice. Don’t bother with the pad, it will crumble. If your garden spot has not been prepared by a horse or some other hardworking animal then you can get that carpet and before you cut it up spread out in your soon to be garden. It will block the sun that will be here sooner or later and keep those weeds from germinating. And it is a great way to recycle J.
