I'm about to plant my veggie garden. I want to use black plastic sheeting to keep the weeds at bay. You know, cut holes for the plants to poke through.

How would I go about watering after everything is planted? Pour water through the holes? Lay down a soaker hose before I lay down the plastic?

Thanks!

soaker hose, just remember that you will not need to water as often, so check to make sure you are not turning the soil into a swamp...
