I sometimes use the plastic weave pet food bags as weed barriers.
Really grateful you are doing no-dig and discussing its benefits.
hello I just sent link to friends They all laugh at me for using cardboard and neighbours put their noses up. Hope now I can convert them. I put cardboard around my fruit tress and roses as well because we get weeds growing very fast as UK with wet weather and I have woodland at the back. Real nuisance. I go to supermarket ro collect cardboard and recycle places. I use cardboard over the lawn where want to plant something. Told my occasional gardner- no more weedkillers. and it is working. Thanks again
What part of South Carolina did you move to? Upstate? Lower?
Jess I already tried using the cardboard it works really well at first but then the weeds get out of control I lost a whole bunch of asparagus and strawberries. Once the cardboard breaks down and it doesn't take very long the Weeds start coming up like you don't have anything there. The weeds actually even come up through the wet cardboard.
I like to prep the area with Vinegar and then lay my cardboard. I'm constantly dealing with Johnson grass, really seems to help.
Great Minds think The same. I just did that too.
So exciting
I always find most poor looking plants for $1 or$2 and bring home , take care of them and I have gorgeous flowers most time, I got delphiniums 2 months ago in Law’s for 1.50 with 2 greenish and 3-4 yellow leafs , she grow and give me gorgeous blue stock of flowers, I’m so happy ,now she keep grow and I know next yr she be bigger and more beautiful.
I have had the hardest time finding comfrey here is central Tx!
I use cardboard all the time in my garden. It's free weed control.
I hope you see this and can reply. I want to reframe my current garden. I have some cheap wood for borders that need replacing. My gardener recommended using cinder blocks. I did some checking and though many people use them I was reading they can contain chemicals or ash that can be harmful to a garden. My husband likes the idea as less expensive and quicker to assemble. Do you recommend the cinder blocks or should I replace with wood? Thank You Love your channel by the way. Watching your move has been enjoyable.
Where do you get all your soil from?
Where did you get the silage tarp?
Its amazing how circumstances can change they way we do things so much. I live on a functioning cattle farm so I can get all the used silage tarp I want! I definitely am planning on tarping my garden this winter
I love all of the updates! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you and your incredible family!
Hi Jess! It's always so much fun when your Mom is with you in your videos. She's such a delight, and a hard worker, too! I appreciate that you showed how you do the cardboard. I have gravel in the back, no grass, but get weeds and wonder if this would work out there by laying it down and putting the rock on top? Our irrigation water just got shut off, so I wouldn't have any way to moisten it. Thank you so much for sharing and filming with your Mom there!
We did this in a new in ground garden this year. 4 2ft by 10 ft beds, a 3 by 10 bed and a 4 by 10 bed and in between we laid wood chips. Aside from making a mistake with the compost we used (it was not quite finished composted wood chips, we had real nitrogen problems at the beginning of the season) it turned out beautiful with basically zero weeds this year. I did have to mind the edges. We have zoysia grass in out yard and that stuff really likes to creep.
hi
I live in an apartment. Next to a farm the owner of the farm has a little space that's never used.
I asked him a few years ago could I use his land. For a small garden. He said. Ok. Nice old guy.
