Groundcloth

tam91 · July 3, 2015

Due to the insane amount of weeds I had last year, I covered the garden in the black ground cloth this year.

It was a bit of a bummer, dunno, I guess I sort of miss the connection with the soil or something.

But - wow do the plants like it. Everything is growing like crazy, and best of all - even with this crazy rainy damp humid weather - I have not sprayed at all, and there is not one diseased leaf among 40 tomato plants. I think I am converted.

(fingers crossed everything stays that way)
