https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e44a8b5b-3e89-4b2f-a12a-0769c3007886 We carpet our homes but what about the garden? So I thought I'd carpet our vegetable garden to stop weeds invading my vegetable beds and to help grow better food crops! Hey Guys, I don't want people getting the wrong idea about this video thinking I'm advocating to use "carpet with chemicals" leaching into the soil. My aim is to merely show how SMOTHERING can be used in the vegetable garden to kill persistent grasses and weeds. I also use tarps, dark shade cloth (doubled over), and even heavy mulch such as straw or sugarcane. The idea is to kill the weeds/grass, which has invaded the bed in an organic way whilst still allowing microbes and worms etc to thrive.
