I have some beds I made this spring that unfortunately have new grass springing up all over them. I think it’s grass ??? Newbie so not really sure what the blades are. I have been hoeing it from the paths but it is too deep to hoe beds. I think I will cardboard or newspaper over entire bed and start over. Would like to do it now but am in Idaho in zone 7B and it is still getting hot. Can I plant the white radish now you mention as a good winter manure into these beds after putting down the cardboard or newspaper?
Or would you suggest I lay down the paper or cardboard and just cover with manure and compost and leave it until spring? Then I will be concerned about weeds sprouting in it and also rains washing away compost and manure into the paths between. Not sure what to do about beds with blades popping up all over this time of year when it is supposed to be 90 degrees next week…
Thanks
