Quick question on Round Up

wrote: or even wiser to learn to garden and develop soils without weeds? I wish people would believe this. I have been in this house now since 1999. This is the fourth spring my garden has been worked on. I am noticing a great deal of highly successional plants which indicate good soil, not poor soil. Many weeds do indicate poor soil. I'm glad you brought that up, because it is a valid fact, one which I am experiencing in my own garden. We were riddled with Johnson grass when we moved here. Each spring we'd water out back and sink a nice long fork, loosen the soil and pull gently till we got the whole rhizome. Each year, less and less. This year I think I've pulled about 20 pieces of it on a half acre. I also use mulch, lots of it. Always free every year after Christmas trees get shredded. Next year I'm going to rent a giant trailer and get as many tons of it as my body allows me to hoist onto the trailer. Then again, many people are not gardeners. They want a garden, but not the gardening. For me, gardening is an activity I can't live without. Anyway, off on a tangent, but I'm glad you brought up the fact that if we build healthy soils, we don't have the trouble with weeds that people who feed plants, instead of soils, have. v |
