best weed proof garden ideas
Comments (18)We have had ours down for three years now and I love it. We have virtually no weeds, no tilling. You can plant even if it rained a lot. We set up a drip tape manifold and have shut offs on each row. So we can plant one row at a times, turn on the water, water them in for a couple hours, the water comes out slow. We hardly ever lose a plant and we carry them right out from the greenhouse without even hardening them off. Maybe the people that didn't like it didn't spend enough money for good results. You have to use the good ground cloth like Dewitt sunbelt or the Dewitt 5 -7 year. That cheap stuff from menards isn't worth the time it takes to put it down. We get all our drip supplies from e and r seeds in Berne indiana. They do mail order, but being amish they don't do internet. They have nice catalogs they send you and you can mail order anything from them. We go pick it up since we're only 55 miles away. We have three gardens set up this way so far, one 60x 100, one 60x 130, one 90x 40. Going to do a new one this year 30x 300. We grow and sell at the local farmers market. No way I could do all this all summer if I had to till and hoe all these gardens in addition to picking all week.

Comments (1)Hello WriterJeni, I'd look into getting some two or three-feet high chicken wire. This will definitely keep the rabbits out. Regarding the squirrels - the fencing will be high enough to deter some squirrels - but you may still have some get into the garden. The squirrels will be able to climb - but at least with putting up a fence, this prevents some of them from getting in.

Comments (4)Aren't husbands great? Mine isn't into gardening at all, but he lovingly sacrificed a full third of our yard (the sunniest part) for my garden. Helped me build and install the beds for it, too. Pretty sweet of him, especially realizing that only leaves about a 20'x50' patch of grass for a lawn! You say he doesn't like veggies, but I bet he likes pie! You could save some space for strawberries and rhubarb as a thank you =) Lori...See MoreIguana proof plants
Comments (7)I live on the River in South Florida and there must be 50 Iguanas in a small span, They eat most everything, They do not like the citrus, but do eat the tangerine. They love the basil, cilantro and pepper, they also love the jasmine. They have laid waste to the Japanese blueberry out front. There is nothing so far that keeps them off the plants. Some of the biggest ones are about 8 feet in length, They scurry up the trees in the evening and then down when the sun warms them in the morning. Pray for a Cold snap in January when they start falling from the trees....See Moresharon's florida
