A way to suppress weeds that I have found is to use yard leaf bags (the paper ones) While cardboard does work, I personally feel there are additional chemicals involved with the adhesives to make the corrugated layer. Since I use leaves for mulch as well as for composting my lawn cuttings, the bags are automatically available, so I flatten them and save for next season as I empty them. The bags become the underlayment on the soil as I place the leaves at the end of the season and I have almost no weed pressure. Great content as always.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I subscribed to you because you teach thank you I appreciate that!
Very concise, useful info. Thank you.
Biggest mistake all the money is a waste just doing in ground rowing of crops is less expensive and less water and less fertilizer……. only if I was handicapped and it's necessary will I build beds of wood or steel but believe I'd use cement if anything
Iām a new subscriber here but I am so glad I came across your channel. Happy New year
I have two comments to make. First, you are so correct in reminding folks to bukld their beds with accessibility in mind. I asked my hubby to build me a 5×5 bed. I wanted morr space. But, unfortunately, I cant reach the middle! š
Looks like your backyard would be perfect with four or five 32'x36" long beds spaced 2' apart, wood chip the walking space for less maintenance. The sun would work well with them just plan the veg with its needs. Much less grass to mow and easy space to work. We made one from 16' 2x10s 32' long to hold a little of our garlic (350 bulbs) and I'll be making a few more soon. Much easier to work than the square type beds, and it's really nice with drip irrigation inside.

Your beds are way too shallow.
