I need advice on how to deal with weeds. I want an organic plan if possible. I dont want to apply anything that is chemically derived, or at the very least, unnatural. I have enough working against my lawn at that. I just need to deal with weeds in and around the bushes that hangout along the front of my house. I tried pulling them, but naturally that didn't work and if they get too big, the gardener just goes through with his weeder and mows everything down, even those plants which i have planted. Ok. And i'd also like to say how proud i am of my rosemary bush. Its grown about 9" in height and at least 3-5" width and is some of the most sticky and efforvescent rosemary ive ever encountered. |
that's what you do. maybe you can soak the ground to make it easier- you have to pull the whole thing down to the roots. or you can try to kill them by blocking out the sun. layer newspaper or plastic down and leave it a few weeks until everything is dead. this obviously doesn't work if the weeds live among things you want to keep. |
tiny bits of rosemary, 2 basil, thyme, oregano, lavender. a flowery thing and a sweet potato vine. they are super happy and they smell really good when it's warm in the kitchen. |
there's some nasty mugs that grow all deep & shit. naturally i was looking for an easier way. |

|
but this is in close quarters to plants i dont want to kill j. |

does anyone have any good experience with peppers. tips? |
plant em in the sun water em |
is this a synonym for a specific seed? |
grew from seed you can get them at a nursery or even home depot it's the best way to grow your own things like tomatoes and plants that have a long germination time like impatiens |
got it though. |
|
starts are also referred to as seedlings. just fyi. |
|
heather, did you get my email? |
i made the mistake recently, of assuming, like all my other succulents, that an aloe plant doesnt need a lot of water. wrong. I would think peppers take good amounts of water. |
|
peppers actually love very hot weather. everything likes lots of water in very hot weather, but peppers do best when you let the soil get really dry and then give it a good soak. and peppers tolerate drought very well. there are some plants, like mint, which actually thrive the more you abuse or neglect them. |
