Next spring I am going to try a new gardening approach. I am planning to use drip irrigation tape that I read farmers also use. My garden over the years has grown considerably smaller. Kids gone, I want to have less garden upkeep.
With this new approach, I am planning to use some type of cover such as plastic or other material over the drip tape. On top of the material I would place a good thick layer of leaf mulch as I usually do.
What type of material would you advice to use. I know plastic is widely used in farming for weed control, but are any other material better suited for this method?
