King Coconut Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 If you have enough cardboard lying round you can just cover the whole bed, weeds and all, with cardboard and cover that with compost. The cardboard will kill the current weeds, suppress any new growth and decompose by Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Following the advice of you lovely gentleman here, we covered the vegetable patch with cardboard and mulch last year, except for the strawberry and raspberry plants. It's still all intact so we've decided that this year we are going to leave it as it is to keep the weeds at bay and focus on sorting out the grass (got a lovely new lawnmower) and the plants and bushes in the garden. We are still going to grow some veg but will keep it all in the greenhouse to keep it manageable. Last week I planted 3 different varieties of tomato plants and some baby peppers. Put them in little pots on the kitchen window and covered them with cling film as recommended by my sister to keep them moist. I went to do a little inspection this morning and my San Marzano tomato's have started to grow, I have 5 little shoots that have come through. Hopefully they continue to grow, I'm quite excited as this is the first time I've grown anything from scratch. Has anyone else used the cling film method? As the shoots have now come through the soil, I've removed the cling film. Was this the right thing to do? They are still tiny, I don't want them to stop growing. Edited March 14 by deathrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Once they've germinated light becomes much more important than moisture, so the film can definitely come off now but it's still important to keep the soil moist for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
