with some vinyl ground cloths, prior to tilling, trying to keep the weeds from starting---
but instead of keeping them down, it seemed to act as a "greenhouse" for them!!!! lmao

Yeah, the cardboard thing would probably work much better,
and I could re-purpose such that I usually send to recycling!!!

thanks, think I'll try that NEXT year.... to make the tilling easier....
I suffer much from early-sprouting weeds and vines here--

Hell, maybe I should do it BEFORE the snow falls at the end of the garden season----
THAT might be much more effective!
