Cover this with newspaper (to block light from weeds and provide a

planting (if you can).


I did this to one bed today, tossed around some iron (ferric) phosphate
to knock back the slugs and snails, and I'll plant peas tomorrow. The
peas are starting to grow tendrils, and once they interlace, separating
them, without doing too much damage, is tricky.
