We have tried putting down the sheeting and covering with rocks so that doesn't work.

My marigold plants are growing. I heard that pinching the buds until Autumn will allow them to grow without killing the plant. Is this true?

Brenda...It seems to me that weeds and grass will grow through almost anything. We use a fabric on ours then have chipped brick as the cover however, weeds and grass come. I usually take time to put because when we are gone for a week or so it's impossible to pull so hubby uses a poison he mixes from Farmers Coop. You can mix 2 cups vinegar, 1/4 salt, and a little Dawn....put in spray bottle, shake and spray. It works for me.
we are going 2 try that that mix thank u .![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/3.1/png/32/1f44d.png)

Preen! I have used it for years. After a few uses you only need it once a year. It is a pre emergent product, so it will not kill any weeds that are all ready growing. You have to pull everything you don't want but it will keep them from coming up again. I love it.
