Posted - Mar 02 2009 : 5:38:24 PM hi, this is my first post/question to pose to you all out there... as i placed my order today for seeds, i was dreaming of my garden and thinking good positive thoughts. unfortunately, weeds, squash bugs and blight entered my mind. so i am wondering if old bed sheets would make a good weed blocker in rows in the garden. it bothers me to buy the black pseudo paper each year by the roll to place in our garden. has anyone had luck with sheets blocking weeds or do you have any other reusable suggestions? i am honored to be part of this connection. |
