Before going out of town I decided to do something that I just didn't want to do. That was till the early patch after it was planted. The solarization didn't work like last year in killing all the weed seeds. Just flat out didn't get hot enough. What it did do was germinate loads of weed seeds and nutsedge. Put roundup on the sedge about 10 days ago but still didn't kill it fast enough to suit me and a massive amount of new pigweed sprouts appeared so I decided to lightly till the surface. Tried to till only the top inch so as to not bring up many more seeds.
