I think this system works even better if you chuck all thos things under

some
worms from my veg garden, dig a tiny bit of soil so thye at least have
some
soil cover and then do what you describe.


hmmmm.......doh. This makes good sense, in that the worms don't have
to chew thru the cardboard/hessian/whatever before they begin to work.

Same weed reduction results, but faster soil improvement results.

Thanks for the idea, Wormwrangler.

Lazy Cow is another name I'm quite prepared to answer to. I don't see why I
should do something if all those tireless wee wrigglers will do a lot of the
soil prep for me.
