Charles demonstrates and explains two methods of clearing weeds to grow vegetables, without digging soil or removing any weeds or soil. Mulches were applied at his Homeacres garden during the past 6-12 months, and you see the results: crops taken, while soil is being cleared of weeds, some of which were vigorous perennials.
The polythene can be any colour, usually black and must be UV treated, so that it doesn't go brittle and break in sunlight. Up to 1 mm thick so that light cannot pass through.
Homeacres is in southern UK zone 8 climate, mild and oceanic.
