RE: Weed control - using tarps and plastics to prepare ground and control weeds

in #teamsouthafrica6 years ago

howdy there towjam! wow, I've never seen this method of weed control in farming before. We always plowed the ground many times to kill the weeds which come right back up in a couple of weeks.

So this is a much more efficient system. It's shocking how clean the soil is after a few months! This is a great video with easy to understand explanations.
Are you guys going to expand and cover even more ground to plant since this saves labor costs?

Hi there @janton
For sure, were slowly moving through the property and making the ground ready for anything that we want to plant. Were looking at Beetroot and swiss chard for the new areas.
I use tilling to clear weeds from the prepared soil when Im watering and feeding the soil. that way the last and hardy weeds are gone by the time we plant

that's so interesting, thank you sir!
