In time we hope to really clean it up and make it a really nice storage area, but that’s obviously a long way away.. Seemingly Random and Senseless Renovations of all Kinds.
Meanwhile, we’re still having a heck of a time keeping up with the weeds in the other half.. For the record, even with all of my weed killing strategies this year, I’m still kind of a wild flower/weed lover at heart.. I’m a little bit tempted to one day just let the whole property go au naturel and see what happens.Look at these pretty pinky flowers that popped up!.
OK, we do have some actual veggies growing this year, but only very few so far.. One success is the pumpkins.Last year by this time, I’d already replanted them thrice because of the bugs that were eating them to the ground.This year, one shot and it looks like we’re good to go..er..grow!.
That extra thick weedy patch down the center is where we’re going to put the path.More black plastic covered with some mulch is the plan!.
Edit: I should clarify that after those 2-3 years, the black plastic is coming off to hopefully reveal lots of sad and smothered weeds…and great soil!
We’re not just going to plant over top like they do with that landscaping fabric.Start with just a pinch at the base of the plant on a sunny day and see what happens.. Never salt in an area where you hope to have things grow in the future!
That’s why it’s also a weed preventer.Nothing will grow again for at least a little while in the areas where you’ve used salt.
It’s perfect for those driveway cracks and pathways like mine..So what do you do about those weeds that don’t react to salt or that are in the middle of a garden?
