vinegar and disk soap weed killer is not working

.... To be a decent gardener you have to understand your climate, the rain patterns, what the soil is made of, and, even then, you can lose. Think of it as something fun to do and you won't go completely bonkers. i agree, some crops you may not succeed with some years, but it helps to pay attention and read what you can on soils/plants/biology/botany/etc. what i've noticed here is that planting diversity helps keep me more interested too. that even if some patches don't make it some others might. i really don't mind weeds and untidyness in the gardens. i'd much rather have something growing in a spot than having bare dirt. to me weeds are free energy collectors and free worm food. when i do need a space i dig a hole and bury the weeds and then plant over them. by the time the seedlings get their roots down very far the worst of the fermentation has happened and the worms are in there doing their thing. only a few select weeds survive this kind of treatment and their roots need to be dried out before they get buried (sow thistle, thistles in general, dandelions, queen anne's lace, chickory, potatoes). songbird |
