The Benefits of Switching to LED Lighting
One where you don’t spend every waking hour caring for your grass!.
The thing is, it still ended up looking pretty much like it does now by the time the season was done.We really did dedicate a lot of time to it last year, but we just couldn’t keep up.
We knew we’d have to do something different this year and maybe that’s why we’ve only planted just a few things so far.This year is a little bit of an experimenting year.. We’ve read several places that the best way (and the only way for some types) to get rid of weeds and keep them away without using crazy chemicals is to smother them with black plastic.For several years.
At the start of last year, it seemed like a pretty drastic measure to lose the use of your garden for a few years just to avoid pulling a few weeds, but by Spring of this year, we knew that was what we had to do..So about a month ago, we covered half of our garden with black plastic, leaving us just half of it to play with this year.
It’s honestly still too big for any reasonable human beings to actually fill and keep up with, so we’re just fine with it for now.. Getting the plastic was easy.
Chris picked up a roll at the hardware store for about $50 and it’s big enough to last us until the end of time.I used Krylon satin finish spray paint in.
I did 4 light coats with about 5 minutes of drying time in between.2 coats coming from one direction, and then 2 coming from the other direction to get under all the slanted bits.
There’s no need to do the sides since they’ll be hiding inside the hole.It looks like it should be more complicated than that, but it really isn’t!.
