Permaculture

This is why it's important to know your local soil. I tried - against better judgement - to use the techniques people use on YouTube and whatever. It just does not work here, my soil is so moist and fertile, there are so many weeds blowing in from the dykes and river floodplain nearby that it's impossible to stop that unless I start weeding every single day. I accepted that now and just mow it every now and then. Only veggies I grow is in the raised beds, with fruit trees planted between them. It is super fertile tho, old floodplain from the Rhine river, loose clay with a little sand and tons of humus.

Edit:

I should have foreseen this lol. There was this guy about 500m away from me who started an organic vegetable garden (for profit) but he quit since he just couldn't win the fight against all the weeds.
