Use Landscape Fabric or Plastic Mulch

4
  1. Solution: Cover garden beds with landscape fabric or black plastic before planting.
  2. Explanation: These materials act as a physical barrier, blocking sunlight and preventing weed growth. Cut holes in the material to insert transplants or seeds. Black plastic also warms the soil, benefiting heat-loving crops. Landscape fabric allows water and air penetration, while plastic typically requires drip irrigation underneath.
  3. Notes: Very effective for weed suppression. Plastic mulch needs removal at end of season. Fabric can be reused but may degrade over time. Can hinder addition of soil amendments.
