| If I were to roll out some builders paper or cardboard over a section of weeds, cover this w/dirt and then mulch and scattered a bunch of Asclepias tuberosa seeds over the mulch would the seeds germinate?
Thanks for any suggestions! PS I've tried pulling the weeds but they come right back. |

| Thank-you so much for your links! They answered many of my questions BUT I am still left with this question....suppose I've covered my patch w/cardboard, mulch (wood chips), grass clippings and veggie peels/coffee grounds etc. this fall. Could I then sprinkle something like Ascelepias sp. on top of the mulch mix immediately w/out waiting for any decomposition, leave it over the winter and have successful germination OR would it be premature? I thought it might work because at the very least I am slowing down grass and weeds in spring and giving my Asclepias seedlings an edge :? |
