I lay 2' wide carpet strips along the edges and between the rows of much of my veg. garden. It won't be featured on Mother Earth News' cover, but it works great to stop weeds, and a comfy seat to sit on to pick vegs. or weed.Gail Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644852656633107525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-76240836213476092922010-01-30T16:35:32.444-08:002010-01-30T16:35:32.444-08:00William H.

(We're in the 20's today.)<br /><br />A few years back I saw potatoes grown in a tire "stack". As the potatoes grew, they would add another tire and more soil. When it came time to harvest, you would disassemble the stack and sort through the soft dirt to find the potatoes! It took up much less space to grow many spuds - and no weeding!<br /><br />I also love the birdnest :)The 4 Bushel Farmgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377555500812602424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-81833922706934875952010-01-30T10:52:00.224-08:002010-01-30T10:52:00.224-08:00YEah, shovel work is hard.
