Ive got those marigold vines that overun everything. Do you think cover would keep the weeds down and allow me to grow this year . Or should I cover it this year to kill the weeds. Chemicals have already been done. They just come back. If you put 8 inches of hay over your garden you may not have to do much with it this year. But, next year you will have at least two year's work trying to get rid of everything that sprouts from the seeds in the hay. We used hay one year because that was all we could get. We wound up with some very ...assertive grasses with which to make compost. There were very few weeds. Given a choice, I'd use straw. |
