man
thats beautiful

What kind of material would you guys use for pathways between your garden pathways? I'm tired of fighting the bermuda grass. I'm laying down a heavy land scape fabric. Been thinking of going with some kind of gravel. Can you give me your inputs?

I have been saving the larger cardboard boxes from our deliveries.

My plan is to till up the ground in between my beds lay the cardboard down and throw 4 inches of mulch on top.

The idea is that the cardboard and mulch will absorb any watering run off and suppress all the weeds.

that'll work until weeds start growing in the mulch...ben there, dun that...41% glyphosate

I was going to do much, I had that in my big flower bed out front. I noticed one day pulling weeds that it had a lot of those big water bug/roachs in there. That's why I thinking of some kind of gravel.

41% gly and mix in a product called Over the Top II. It's Sethoxydim and will stop bermuda in it's tracks. If you have bermuda in your garden or flower beds go just Over the Top. Very safe product to use around flowers and shrubs and it's approved to use in vegetable gardens.

Just my opinion - Do not use glyphosate anywhere near your garden. I'd rather live with the weeds than risk the after affects of glyphosate.

agree...gotta b careful...Derek, how does Over The Top kill grasses and not hurt desirable plants...that sound wonderful

However the bio chems nerds came up with it lol. I'm not sure exactly. I have a row of Hydrangeas that gets infested with my bermuda. I can blanket spray the whole bed with it and the Hydrangeas don't even know it. It is slow to work. Takes probably a couple weeks to kill. I keep a gallon mixed up and spot spray as needed. The bermuda invasion is endless. FYI it smells horrible.

grassy...found it on Amazon for $23+ and free chippin'...got me a bottle...glyphosate always scares me but it duz the job...this'll b mucho better

The after effects of glyphosate is one of the largest shams bought and sold to world. Something like 75 independent scientist have studied it for years and years and cannot find anything wrong with it. But the lawsuits will never stop so Monsanto/Bayer at some point have to stop fighting it and settle. Now Bayer has said F retail we are done with you morons and pulling roundup from the shelves in 2023. Look at the countries that have banned roundup totally. They are struggling bad and having to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to import crops from countries that don't have roundup banned. Mexico's band of roundup starts in 2023 or 2024. You won't see this on a yahoo headline but if you follow people in ag that follow and record yield you will see by 2026/7 Mexico's yield will be in the dump.

i used it for 3 years in a bindweed control program in Foard / Hardeman Counties in the early 80's...cases of it...and other very strong chemicals...72+yo still kikin'...no wonder the price of 41% glyphosate has pertnere doubled...

how do you guys feed your tomato plants other than just water? thanks

miracle gro liquid every 3 weeks

I'm using Jacks Classic 20-20-20 water soluble. Miracle gro is a good choice. I don't think there is really a wrong way to go with the big name products. Jobes Busting Blooms is a good one. Medina hasta grow. is another one. Lots of good options.
