hasn’t anyone stoped to think about the fact there is a lot of ink and nasty stuff on that newpaper and that all ends up in your soil! That stuff is not organic.

This guy is a joke…. Ancient techniques?!?!?!?! Propane torch….? Hope that you have irrigation run underneath the news paper… otherwise you’re not getting enough water. Don’t watch the pvc green house video either. Anyone with some brains can put together a better temporary hoop house than that with PVC. When you put staples through plastic… and the wind blows, it rips.

Don’t forget that a lot of weeds out there are edible!! If you get them young enough, like Dandelion leaves, toss them in a mixed green salad. Do a web search on edible weeds to learn which ones you can eat but do not pick in an area that’s been sprayed with chemicals of any sort, or pooped on by pets. Some “weeds” can be beneficial, especially wild clovers and such, for these capture nitrogen from the air and release into the soil.

You must be getting your seeds in the wrong places then to have weak seeds! Heirloom vegetables are open pollinated and the seeds always come true to type. Many organic gardeners will happily share their seeds. Join Seed Savers Exchange or other trading organizations that specialize in heirloom vegetables. And stay away from commercial seed catalogs. You’ll then see that not all plant genetics are bad.

man had tampered so much with plants and genetics that todays breeds are weak.
before modern agriculture plants grew with the weeds, the pests, and grew without irrigation.
remember Nature itself is “organic” man did NOT invent organic we actually discovered it just recently that the way we have been practicing agriculture is WRONG
and were going back to what nature intended it to be

Earthworms LOVE newspaper too. One thing I would add is I recommend watering the newspaper after you lay it down. It will absorb a ton of water, it will really cut down on the amount you have to water later. I prefer a hoe over a garden weasel. Especially if used on a very hot day, the exposed weeds die out for sure.
