Respectfully sir, the use and garden area,plan is very inefficient , first you soil is made up of large stones, visit the local tip or op shop use an old fashioned bed frame with webbed mesh base for seiving all the soil for seaparating the rocks. IMHOThe idea of growing in mounds is bad practise , preferably the garden plot should be flat with a small moot circling each plant to retain water and focus on each plants root system , with mounding theres is water run off . Thanks for the video

You big hoe! I like to let the weed grow, then smoke it dude!

[charlestutt]

I don't need these tools anymore. I have a much easier and more effective way, though I do support and practice mulching with less than finished compost.

[crazyflamingoc]

Very good tips.

I hand pick everything I can during my tills. Garden fabric to trap out sunlight, and Mulch to block new drops, and raise mulch to 2 inches so weed roots dont go deep and are easier to pull. Excellent video on making weeds tired of growing though. nice looking soil too. The compost you have looks rich and moist.

What are you breaking down to make your compost?

My problem is every spring I lay down weed barrier first.Then cover with mulch.This works for that season.But coming next spring I have weed seeds,tree seeds and everything else that settled in my garden bed over the summer and fall.I've pulled up the weed barrier each year and started all over.Now that I've accum. so much mulch,I can't put fresh stuff down.Each veg.plant gets a gallon size hole in the ground and filled with Scotts Mir.grow soil.I might use weed barrier with no mulch this year.?

Compost and mulch are different things.

Compost is yummy stuff for the vegi roots.

Mulch is random blocking stuff to put on top of compost. ie tree bark, rubber tires, newspaper, coffee grounds, AOL sign up cds.

I just bought one of those double action hoes, and they are great!! Hand picking the weeds was a nightmare! How long does it take for the compost to reach the mulch stage?

[clubsoda69]

[sillygirl722]

I got mine at walmart. I have also seen them in  garden centers
