ROFL You can buy that landscape fabric cheap, I put it down and then cut small X's in it to plant the tomato plants, same for the hills of squash etc. And you could leave a gap to plant a row of something. I put straw on top of mine (hey, I have like a few hundred bales of it) for mulch, and when I mowed my lawn I dumped the lawn clippings there. Although weeds can grown DOWN thru the straw to the barrier, they cannot grow thru the barrier. Likewise, they can't grow up thru it either. But water goes thru. I also put in a sprinkler system (cheap) the kind when you spread the hose out (after you plant) and then poke the sprinkler heads thru the hose. Loved it, I only watered my garden, and my husband liked it too, all he had to do was hook up the long hose to the one in the garden and turn it on! It costs me about $20 to have the local guy till my garden, much less than the whining and tylenol if I would do it myself (or have DH do it!) I usually only grow tomatoes, summer squash, and rhubarb, but think I will add a few other items this year. And as small as my garden is, I can plenty and give lots away. Oh, I can taste those fresh tomatoes already!!!Lori in South Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065926474013911257noreply@blogger.com
