[learn_more caption=”Click here for the video transcript”] Hey everyone! It’s Paul with Born to Grow, and in this quick video I’m going to show you something really cool that we’ve been using for weed control in our garden. It’s very simple something that you can use your home. It’s right behind me here — it’s this black silage tarp. Now obviously we have a large area covered here so if you have a smaller home garden you’ll be using a smaller amount. But it works really well, and here’s how you do this. You want to put the silage tarp out – if it’s a really small area you could use some thick black trash bags, like the heavy duty ones from Lowes or something like that – you want to spread it out over your garden area. And you can do this when the garden has a bunch of weeds on it. So, for instance, you could put it over these weeds that are coming up here, and then you would want to sandbag around the edge to make sure that it’s held down. (I pulled the sandbags off of this one.) And then you leave it there for a month, two months – you want to make sure that all the weeds underneath it die. In fact, little new weeds that are down in the soil will come up – any that are close to the top. They’ll germinate but then they won’t have any light so they’ll die. And its really neat because you’re actually working with nature; all your earthworms and the microbiological life in your soil, bacteria, etc., are going to come and actually decomposed those dead weeds and pull them back down into the soil, and they’ll become organic matter in the soil. So it’s an excellent way to get a huge head start on the weeds. Now I’ll just pull this back here so you can see. You leave it for a couple months, and when you pull it back, and you have these beautiful beds that are just perfect and ready to be planted into. Now, of course, we’re going to come in with a broad fork loosen up the soil a little more, add some more compost. But they’re just beautiful, and when you plant into this you can have a huge head start on on the weeds, because your whole first weed crop has already been taken care of just because of this silage tarp.
