Weeds
By Vance2

I have pulled all the weeds in my garden but they are already growing back. Is there something to put down to stop the weeds from growing? I would prefer not to use chemicals since i have a 3 yr old that loves to help. My husband told me to get roofing paper but i thought that had tar in it and would kill my plants. Is that true?

Try smothering them with black plastic sheets for a while. This will weaken them and after digging again to try to clear them out you could lay a membrane with holes for your plants, if that's a feasible option.

you could mulch with spent mushroom compost or bark chippings, which should contol the weeds , or just enjoy the excercise!!!
