Weed love a little help

[Dirtmechanic]

I am definitely going to give this a try! I found some cheat grass growing there too 😬

My elderly neighbor (94) was very excited to tell me that when his gardener took up the strips of black weed cloth he had them install last year that nothing was left under them. Around here that means nutsedge too.

I see Fen was helping too! Looks fabulous, lots of hard work in that.

it takes me about three seasons to remove nutsedge manually. not fun, but oh well, i've been through worse.

They orginally covered the pathways and right up to the plants which really minimized weeding and they left it through winter and green up.

Fen is in charge of stick management 😂

I had an Australian Shepherd that helped me garden. I’d pull weeds, toss ‘em and she fetched them right back to me.

GS's don't do that. Eva looks at me and wonders why ANYBODY would eat those things.
