Fun out of gardening - Page 3

 



So how would you handle the weed seeds?  Is there a special technique
that works for you?  I'm sure that more people other than myself would
like other proven methods instead of Roundup.

Just weed.  Or use and old kichen knife and just disturb the ground around
growing seedlings when the weeds are at a very immature stage.  A small
amount of effort every day or second day in soil that is cultivated as a
veggie garden is, makes weed control easy - just do a bit often.

 



I weed.  I cultivate the soil frequently which disturbs the seedlings,
severs roots and brings up new seeds to do the same thing to.  Weeding
is an enjoyable task for me, calming, centering.  It's part of being a
gardener.

As for what James said about using Roundup several times and then
going organic - I'm speachless. :o(

Probably a stock owner in some petrochemical outfit.  Has no idea of what a
vegetable garden is, and ate its resultant "fruit".

Apathy and denial are close cousins

 


I suspect that a respect and appreciation of weeding only comes with age - a
rite of passage for gardeners.
