Wouldn't 6% h202, or boiling hot water work as well. Glyco phosphate is bad for you
Thank you for the info!! Love your show.
what a fun channel... found through the brown recluse video and i know im going on a binge tonight even if i have no idea what's going on
Can you point us to the update!?
I solarized my garden and the Bermuda grass seems to be dead. Could I place my raised bed on top of the dead vegetation or do I need to remove it?
It will work best if you can remove it. It's pretty easy to pull out. We dug down and got as many of the roots as we possibly could. Then we added any soil amendments that we needed for what we were growing, edging (to keep stuff like bermuda grass from creeping back in), then mulched it. It was two or three years before we had to do any real weeding at all, that was all stuff that had seeded itself on top of the mulch. Worked great on crabgrass, too.
@@Aprlmoore What did you use for edging to keep bermuda from re-entering the area?
@@zachlloyd9392 For edging, the deeper the better, but you want at least a couple inches above ground level. Plastic edging works pretty well, but is typically only 4" deep. Metal edging that is 6" deep works better. For a cheap life hack (if you are short a foot or less), you can just push license plates into the ground. They're deep enough; the hard part is getting enough of them. :-D But it works well for the end, when you fell a bit short.
@@Aprlmoore Awesome, thank you!
