Let's Talk Weeding

3. I used a really effective method last year....

Of course, you still have to hand pull some weeds in the exact rows where the stuff is growing - beans, lettuce, beets, etc but if you keep on top if it, it isn't all that bad. But - between the rows, I put down double layers of newspaper and covered it with fresh grass clippings to a 6 inch depth. It lasted all summer and I had essentially no weeds between my rows. And that left time for hand pulling the weeds growing in the midst of your "good stuff" - each time we mowed, we just kept adding it to the garden. (we don't treat the lawn).
