I'm hoping to put in a garden this spring. I tried a couple of years ago but the existing weeds just took over. What's the best approach to converting an old field to garden? I like the concept of an organic approach but realistically I doubt I'll have the time so chemicals will probably be necessary. The land is flat and was a cornfield several years ago. Since then it's been taken over with a wide variety of weeds including wild onion, ragweed and various grasses. I've considered laying down black plastic and letting it "cook" in the spring sun to kill off anything. Would that work? Any suggestions welcome [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
