Weeds
Finally, there’s a good use for weeds; believe it or not!
- You can use weeds uprooted from the garden as a mulch as long as they are laid on top of either newspaper, cardboard, black plastic or landscape fabric.
- If you put them right on top of tilled
some of them may try to re-root themselves. - If the seeds are ripe, they could also shake loose and take root.
- Without the blocking layer of mulch underneath you could end up pulling more weeds than you started with.
- Compost the weeds if they are particularly hardy. Once they rot they make excellent soil conditioner.
