Carbon-black pigment is still made by burning petroleum, and a lot of newspaper ink uses mineral oil as the carrier (with a little soy mixed in for public relations). Makes me nervous. I could whack the weeds with it, happily! But if petroleum makes my skin peel off (it does), I don't like the idea of putting it into the soil that grows my food. Peas and spinach are going in this weekend, hooray!! I like andre’s method.

I do so love those who think outside the box. =] When it comes to weeds I am always open to new methods for their demise. I do so love those who think outside the box. =]

Action gardening. Could just imagine what the town would say if I ran around doing this in the front yard. Thanks Andre. Much more satisfying than the peaceful laying down process I’ve been trying.
