TEN Ground Covers for Weed Control +2019 May Urban Garden/Edible Landscape Tour Albopepper Walk-thru
Select the best ground covers for blocking out weeds and reducing the need for wood mulch. What plants work well for shade vs sun? What about drought vs wet conditions? Which plants can handle foot traffic? Are there any edible ground covers? Watch to find out!
When it comes to keeping weeds at bay, sheet mulching with cardboard and wood mulch is a great way to reclaim an overgrown, weedy bed. But it's only a quick fix and temporary measure. Weed seeds will still blow in and before you know it, new weeds are starting to sprout.
That's why competition is so crucial. Don't leave areas bare and vacant. Plant them in with layers of bushes, shrubs and ground covers. Creeping perennials are the lowest on the ladder, literally hugging the ground and crowding out many opportunistic weed seeds.
But selecting a ground cover is not a one size fits all decision. On my property I've experimented with over a dozen different kinds. Some have failed to hold up. Others have made the cut. I'm going to show you the ten ground covers that I'm currently growing.
Pay attention to where they appear in relation to my property line, buildings, walkways and other plants. Hopefully these options will give you some ideas for designing your own lush plantings!
