Hello everyone. My name is Gabriel and I am a thirty year old carpenter who is determined to finally have a vegetable garden. I have dug up and turned an area in my yard and I am wondering what some of your suggestions might be concerning keeping the weeds down. Should i cover it with something? I have heard some people use newspaper or landscape cloth. Should I buy some wood and build a border? What about rabbits? What are your ideas? Thanks. |

Welcome. We're always happy to have another gardener. Scroll around the forums. You should see all kinds of places to ask gardening questions, like Gardens, Vegetables, Composting, Pests, etc. We have a rabbit fence around our Garden Garden, but the little devils are eating my lilies that are just coming up. Personally, I use old leaves and pine needles in my Garden Garden. Look around and ask all the questions you would like. It's loads of learning fun! |

Welcome to Garden Guides. Like Witt I would scroll down to the Vegetable gardening forum and ask away. Gardens are very individual. What one person does is not what the next gardener would do. I prefer newspapers because I have them in abundance and they work for me. I am starting a small raised veggie garden and used a large cardboard box but most of the time I use newspapers. So look around figure out what works best for you and go to gardening. Linda B from SC |
