This fall I am trying something new to hopefully fix a problem I ran into during the summer. The weed pressure in this field is very intense as you can probably tell from the upper right part of the photo. To remedy this I am using a 1mm plastic film from Peaceful Valley and then mulching over with hay. It has been 4 weeks since I took this picture and the beds are staying relatively weed free, except for the occasional nut sedge which has been spotted growing through impervious things such as asphalt before, so that was expected. My major weed problem from the summer, crab grass, has been totally solved and plastic mulch seems to be the best fix so far.
