Good to hear from you, thanks for the info. I have started using the
newspaper layer technique in flower beds, and it does seem to do the
trick. Will give it a shot in the edible garden as well then.
Shouldn't be a big deal to lay down between rows, etc.
FWIW the grass has been put down both green and semi-dried, and it has
dried out on the beds as I mentioned. No probs with odor, just those
pesky weeds
I laid the mulch down over ungerminated
(non-germinated?) soil, but of course it must be alive with weeds, and
so they are pushing right on up. Will replace with that
semi-impermable layer and see how it goes.
Thanks again!
