I spent nearly a decade ammending my soil with natural amendments, and it is
now very fertile.

In recent years though, the battle with weeds has taken all the fun out of
it, and weeds just love the soil, and grow exceedingly fast and vigorous.

It has gotten so bad, that last year, I skipped planting it.

However, I miss the fresh produce off the vine, and the store bought stuff
tastes like wet cardboard.

How do you guys deal with the weeds?

I'm concidering covering everything with plastic this year, in the hope the
heat will kill many of the weed seeds.

I have found that mulching with grass clippings works pretty well.
Not to brag, but I can grow some world class weeds. Adding a few
layers of grass clippings throughout the summer at least keeps them
managable. Lord know if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have anything
BUT weeds.
