Weed block to keep the crabgrass from coming back

This has been an especially bad year for weeds. Crabgrass grows in beds, between beds and even in cracks in the asphalt or in a handful of dust that blew up next to a rock. The roots can go down over a foot making the weeds especially difficult to get out.

But really, all those are just excuses. When harvest comes in, weeding takes a backseat to .picking veggies. And, as you can see from the pictures above, weeding has taken a backseat for a few weeks. Today, I weeded several beds and pulled weeds between some of the beds. Then, I put down some weed block in an attempt to keep the weeds from coming back. It may word to keep weeds from between the beds, but as sure as the sun rises, I'll be out there next week pulling more weeds from veggie beds
