[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1061326, member: 16552"] I'm guessing translation issues. I'm thinking English isn't her/his native language. I missed this thread originally, but for next time... There is no magic bullet. It's a pain no matter what you do. I agree with mulching between rows and around plants. straw, grass clippings, shredded paper, whatever you have. Layers of newspaper under the mulch also work well to help conserve moisture in the soil and act as a barrier for weed seeds from the straw or grass clipping. Ditto also to 3ways comment about clipping treated with weed/feed or any other type of herbicide. A tiller or cultivator do work well between rows, but as mentioned, they will also bring seeds to the surface where germination conditions might be more friendly. Also agree drips are wonderful for putting water only where you need it and also help eliminate the favorable disease conditions you get with overhead watering, especially with tomatoes and cucurbits.
