Newspaper for weeds

by n/a

If you are starting a new garden or if you already have one, put a few layers of newspaper down around your plants underneath the mulch and dapen a little to keep in place. It shades the ground to keep the weeds out and is absorbent enough to still let water get to your plants

Works well, plastic is even better.

This works surprisingly well. If you have old plastic tarp laying around, that works even better.

This Works Well!

I have done this very recently and it seems to be working well. After thinking I had placed enough mulch down, up came the grass. I put the newspaper down, re-mulched, and no weeds!
