My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Black plastic on fall garden

16 years ago

I have started some fall vegetable seeds for this year and want to know what you all think on laying black plastic down on top of my soaker hoses to cut back on weeding. I am concerned that the Texas sun will bake my root system under the plastic when I transplant them. Any advice or experience with this?
