I love this!

I've weeded many a garden by hand, as I am a devoted chemical alarmist.

My present garden is about 1 foot square and contains an heirloom tomato. Not much room for a weedbot! I'll just have to slave away and weed by hand.

sprinkle a little corn gluten around after the next time you weed.

What does corn gluten do? Seems like it'd retain moisture...

its fairly granular and you sprinkle it on the surface, it is an organic pre-emergent herbicide, it will prevent new weeds from germinating and it is just corn gluten so it is non toxic.

I'll look into it, as one of my neighbors is gifting me some Irises, and I need to make another garden bed for them. They'll take more room than one tomato plant.

Thanks!
