controlling weeds in your garden increases yield and reduces insects
and disease. Ah, black plastic mulch is an
excellent way to control weeds, and it warms the
soil and conserves water. Roll a 3 ft wide
sheet over the prepared garden. Grow very edges about
four inches deep to hold securely in place, then
cut holes to plant your crops. At the end
of the growing season, the black plastic can easily
be removed. Ah, message from your Virginia Cooperative
Extension Service.
