April 2, 2010 -- Day 209 -- The weeds, the blasphemous weeds.

Above is a picture of our yard with lots and lots of weeds growing. These weeds grew up upwards of 3 feet tall in only a few months! James and I pulled them out and then covered the ground with plastic. We read about this technique for getting rid of weeds in an organic weed removal book. What should happen is that the ground will heat up to 120-130 degrees and kill all of the remaining roots and seeds. We'll be leaving the plastic on for a few months

to get the roots good and burned up!
