I need to kill a lot of weeds in a 24' x 16 ' rectangular bed quickly and
then replant by
15 May with both seed plant seeds and starter plants.

Vecause of illness last fall, I didn't get te weed fabric covering on, so
I have more weeds
than I can shake a stick at.

These are going to be veggies.

After the weeds are killed, 'll shoveling on 62 Cu. Ft. of composted
grass clippings and dried
brown leaves that have been "cooking" for about 4 - 5 years.

The compost and the dead weeds will be rotilled in before new plants are
introduced.

Weed B Gone?

Roundup?

Other ideas?

(Don't say hand weed. Not an option. Remnants of heart issues fom last
fall.)


No chemical has ever or will ever be tested for safety in humans. Hire a
neighborhood kid to hand weed the area. Or, your heart may end up being the
least of your troubles. If you don't know any kids to ask, call the nearest
high school and find out if they have a way of connecting kids who want jobs
with people offering work.
