I've never tried solarization -- might it work? Tom

What remedies are people using to rid garden plots of quack grass? A small

Many thanks for all the helpful info on this list.

Oh, I wish I knew. On small plots, I dig by hand. On larger ones, I till and re-till and
till again. I'm wondering if a fast-growing dense canopied crop like buckwheat might help
after the tilling.

There was an ATTRA-funded study on the benefits of cardboard, but I haven't seen the
actual results.
