I am doing a large scale landscaping project and I just wanted to put this
question out there to all you permaculture peeps, even though it's probably
been answered a bunch before.

We usually sodkick and weed the area that we are preparing for the
paper/mulch treatment. This project we're doing is so large that we're
considering not weeding, just paper/mulch. There are a lot of dandelions,
and the soil is very sandy. I was considering flame weeding or a vinegar
herbicide.

Has anybody done this on a large scale and is it wise to forgo the weeding
part of the landscaping?
