Tired of having weeds in your garden? Ever think you could maintain a
weedless garden organically? According to the author of a _Mother Earth
News_
(_http://www.mothereahttp://www.mhttp://www.mothehttp://wwwhttp://www.mhttp://
wwwhttp_
(http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organic-Gardening/2007-06-01/Weedless-Gardening.aspx)
) article, it’s possible. The article is great because not only does it
tell you how the author himself does it, but the science behind the ideas
are
explained as well. According to Mr. Lee Reich, author of “Maintain A
Weedless
Organic Garden”, these are the four things you must do to make this happen:
* Do not till or disturb the soil. This keeps dormant weeds asleep and
away from light or air.
* Designate areas for walking and planting to avoid compacting and the
need for tillage
* Keep a thin mulch of weed-free organic material to snuff out any weed
seeds that blow in or are dropped into the garden by local birds
* Use drip irrigation wherever water is called for to avoid promoting
weed growth
The article does a great job of taking each of these suggestions, and
spelling out to you exactly why they are necessary steps to be take, as well
as the
science behind them. I don’t know much about gardening, but I can tell you
that the article is very detailed, and should definitely be looked at if
organic gardening interests you!

Made Easy.
