Has anyone tried using carpet as a weed blocker? I'm really hill billy sometimes and have used old rolls of carpet upside down to block the weeds. Seemed to work great last year! Any thoughts or suggestions on this concept? (p.s. you can read a little about this in my blog. I'm hoping to keep a regular entry on this topic.. Just to keep up to date on how it works-or doesn't work)

We're spreading grass clippings inbetween our raised rows and adound larger plants, I'm hoping it works. Ofcourse you use what is convienient and available, I don't see we used carpeting wouln't be great!

I read about it in a magazine a long time ago , I remember they used an oval braided rug then cut out rings in the oval to use as planting beds and step on the remaining rings. Looked cool. I think it was an herb garden.
