black plastic in garden

[gottadance]

Another anti-plastic in the garden - full of chemicals - I wouldn't want that near my food. I have a small garden - maybe 10 x 15. I just weed it as needed as I've never found a "cure." Of course, with weeding an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - I get out there when they're young and pull 'em.

I haven't read all of the responses, so this may be repetitive. I think a great thing to use is old carpet, laid bottom side up, especially in pathways. Newspaper and cardboard are good because they break down. In my zone, black plastic would just cause everything to cook, literally.
