Mulching, Color and Birth Control
Birth Control for weeds is how you keep the perfect garden without spending countless hours.  Apply 1lbs.of Eptam or Amaze per 10’x10’ garden bed using a Earthway handheld spreader set on 3. Apply mulch to a minimum depth of 3”.  Use 1-3.3 cubic foot bag per 15 sq. feet of bed area. Layout out all annuals, ground cover and perennials as the Garden Made Simple plan indicates spacing on 8” centers as previously described.   Move the mulch back that is under each plant, dig a hole 1 1/2 times the size of the plant and install the plant.  Make sure that the plant is planted 1/2” higher than the existing garden beds.  Mound the soil to make sure that water will drain away from the plant. Water all that plant materials in thoroughly.  This should take around 30 minutes.  Make sure to follow the watering guidelines for additional watering instructions.
