Due to some progressing physical problems I needed to begin simplifying
things, so 3 years ago I went to the black plastic, red for tomatoes. At
the
end of the season, I roll it up and use it the next year.

As much as I prefer the organic approach and tilling the mulch into the
soil
at the end of the season, the plastic mulch has enabled me to continue
gardening.

Also, it helps to chant in your garden..." I did not weed. I do not weed.
I
will not weed."

Do you use the regular or the coated kind that reflects the sun? The
reflection is supposed to give the plants a boost as well as
disorienting insect pests.

I've only used the regular, but have a roll of the coated to try this year.
