This is the plot where I just planted a 1928 Globus. It looks like a weedy grassy mess, but inside the hoop it was tilled deeply with a manure fork. After the flood last year I planted groundhog radishes but the weeds still came on strong. So I kept it mowed and added lots of grass clippings. Then I add leaves and compost. This spring it was so mellow I could push in all of the hoop anchor rods by hand. I spread my spring amendments on top to let the rain start soaking it in. I sprayed with glyphosate last week. When the grass is dead I will mow and till once. I don't want to leave loose soil for a flood to wash away. Further weed control will involve spray, hoe and mulch.
