Everything

You did say ASAP.


Yeah you got me there lol.

I guess I meant more of I need to start ASAP. I know the full solarization process takes a while but I'm wondering if I can do a shortened method to kill the active weeds now and then hopefully by the time I start to plant for fall, the cooler conditions limit my new weeds popping up until I can do a full solarization next year.

I try to limit my glyphosate use because of my bee hives unless absolutely necessary (which does occasionally happen).

so i cut some pieces off of my tomato plants and stuck them in a cup of water in the window. roots came out a lot faster than expected. only took about 5 days.

I was going to just plant them upright in the ground now, which would seem like the common sense thing to do, but someone told me you are supposed to cut off the top and only leave it about 6" long from the roots, with no shoots coming out of those 6" and then plant it horizontally in the ground. That just seems silly to me.
Anyone else heard of this?
