Gardening Information
Organic Weed Control: 

1. Mechanical cultivation
2. Plant canopy - keeping the soil loose and full of humus helps crops 
   grow fast enough to make this work.
3. Allelopathic cover crops: wheat, rye, barley, oats, sorghum
4. Use Chinese weeder geese to control grass weeds.
   Portable fencing may be necessary to keep them out of the grain crops.
5. In the fall, after harvest, turn animals out on the stubble to suppress 
   weeds and speed crop residue decomposition.
6. Allelopathic mulch materials: walnut shells, sunflower shells
   Very powerful, so only use on garden borders far from plants.
   Do not use inside the garden.
7. Do not plant invasive or self seeding plants inside the garden:
      (fennel, dill, burdock, jerusalem artichoke, comfrey
      , horseradish, dandelion, etc.)
8. Spreading several feet of extremely fresh manure over the soil 
   and allowing it to decompose for several months will kill all 
   weed seeds in the top several inches.
