|
|
| I would like to kill bermuda coastal on 2 acres of land to plant fruit trees. Can this be done without roundup? Can I cover the soil with black plastic then put down mulch? I have plenty of mulch and horse manure and tractor. Any suggestions? Any advice would be appreciated!! We have been organic for the past 10 years. |

Maybe lots of applications of vinegar or orange oil or cedar oil applications?
Sometimes strong undiluted anaerobic organic teas make great herbicides.
If you never want to plant anything on the property, then salt water works great! (LOL)
I think your idea of using lots of plastic or heavy paper or cardboard as weed controls is very smart and economical.
Happy Gardening! |

| just this week i am going to put down 20 rolls of 9 by 100 foot 6 mil plastic where i plan to plant blackberries in the fall. i hope to boil the soil over the summer and thus rid the rows of the pesky bermuda. i'll let you know how it goes. |
