Alternatives to Roundup

10. Plowing and Tilling

I ended up getting the field plowed, then disc'd. Now getting ready to start tilling rows. Looks deep enough to where the weeds were uprooted, so should be able to pick those up pretty easily.

Raking the dirt into mounds is a good idea. Should make it harder for weeds to come up on the paths too. I get free mulch from the sawmill, but can only get a pickup full at a time. Hoping to at least get enough to mulch around plants. We've already hauled several tons for the flower garden.

I did try putting straw down as one of the layers for the lasagne beds. Turned out to be wheat straw, and it all sprouted. Yikes!
