How to Plant and Grow Potatoes Learning to grow this easy crop will ensure your family will always have a food source available. Full tutorial on how to plant, trench methods, and wen to hill, plus tips on where to get seed potatoes so you don't introduce disease into your soil.
Wet newspapers and put layers around the plants overlapping as you go; cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic; they will not get through wet newspaper. Good composting!
Clever! The next time you have green onions (scallions), don't throw away the white ends. Simply submerge them in a glass of water and place them in a sunny window. Your onions will begin to grow almost immediately and can be harvested almost indefinitely. We just use kitchen scissors to cut what we need for meals. I periodically empty out the water, rinse the roots off and give them fresh water.

Ivory soap works like this too, my parents have used it for years to keep bugs off and the deer out of the garden.

This looks really cool, but the original post is removed from the forum where the pin was taken. Should be easy enough to do, though!
I've done this before --- you have to put more than just one layer of paper... you need to put the ENTIRE section down - like the A section, then overlap it with the B section, etc. Just one page of newspaper and the grass will grow through... believe me!
Thanks for sharing your comments about the paper thickness.
I've done it too. Definitely need a whole section.
It's easier to do than plastic. Lesson learned and my duh moment, don't do it on a windy day.. LOL
