I saw this tip on keeping the weeds under control and thought I would pass it on. I have know about layering news paper to control weeds but I didn't know to use wet newspaper.
Wet newspapers and put layers around the plants overlapping as you go; cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic; they will not get through wet newspapers. (this really works!)
