Killing Weeds with Polythene

What can you do to help make your pumpkin patch weed free when it comes time to planting? If you have a small area like I do, polythene can help.

With around 3 months to go until the giant pumpkin growing season kicks off I thought I better kill some weeds that are taking over the tiny patch.

In this weeks update I start dealing with all the weeds I have, I got a kneeling pad and measuring cup and everything is growing well.

Preparing the patch early allows me to make sure there are no weeds when I want to plant, this year I will be trying a cover crop.

I came back from a holiday to find a whole bunch of weeds in the giant pumpkin patch.

The Christmas Eve update, with lots of weeds and a split stem.
