Someone else mentioned newspaper. That works well too, and like the
plastic bags, just lay them out over the plot, punch a hole where you
want to plant a flower, and after you're done planting, cover it all
up with your cedar.

If you're planting seeds, things get more complicated.


I laid out newspapers with long narrow gaps where the furrows for the
seeds were. I then planted the seeds in the furrows. I did that with
cucumbers and then did a similar thing on my other summer gourds
(zucchini and crooknecks), only leaving small squares rather than long
furrows.

VERY few weeds. Peachy!

You never mentioned planting peaches!
