Chris picked up a roll at the hardware store for about $50 and it’s big enough to last us until the end of time.

One type of weed that we have, I think it’s called Hedgewood Bindweed, is supposed to take about 8 months to use up all the energy it has stored, but the recommended smotheration time is about 3 years to be sure..So that’s the plan of attack.

I’m feeling pretty good about it.Meanwhile, we’re still having a heck of a time keeping up with the weeds in the other half.. For the record, even with all of my weed killing strategies this year, I’m still kind of a wild flower/weed lover at heart.. I’m a little bit tempted to one day just let the whole property go au naturel and see what happens.Look at these pretty pinky flowers that popped up!.

OK, we do have some actual veggies growing this year, but only very few so far.. One success is the pumpkins.Last year by this time, I’d already replanted them thrice because of the bugs that were eating them to the ground.

This year, one shot and it looks like we’re good to go..er..grow!.

That extra thick weedy patch down the center is where we’re going to put the path.natural weed killers.

, you’ll find all kinds of good stuff.There’s also a lot of discussion as to which ones should be used and shouldn’t for different applications.

I’ve been trying a whole bunch of them out and I’ll be sharing some of the best ones I’ve used over the next little while..The idea of using salt appealed to me because it’s so darn simple and so darn cheap too.
