The Little Tunnel is apparently a suitable home for several varieties of aggressive ground cover. After hauling the weeds out in buckets, we tucked straw around the tunnel’s other occupants: garlic, onions, Swiss chard, and claytonia. The straw works well for weed control. There’s a patch of carrots in the back, as well. We’re about to dig those up, so we didn’t bother weeding and strawing them.
In a few months, this tunnel will shelter our cucumber vines.
Yikes.
Ah, that’s better. The row on the far left is empty. We’re going to lay landscape fabric over it, to kill off the remaining ground cover.
