I have met a man who gardens organically using
rainwater harvesting. He told me he waters twice a
year for an hour each time. The reason - he mulches
for weed control.
The only reason he has to weed is that birds come and
drop weed seed in his yards.
I have some areas in my front and back yard where I
used tall weeds cut down for mulch. It has been over
6 months and no weeds are growing. Did lift it and
check underneath. The soil is moist and getting
darker.
Weed seed will always be in the soil from what I
understand.
Doesn't red root pigweed controlled help tomatoes to
grow and Purslane(Pusley) help corn to grow??
