I have a good news - bad news problem. Good news is there is no drought this summer, so everything is nice and green (including the lawn grass). Bad news is time to divide my bed and I hate to work in the wet ground and mess up the soil structure till winter freeze thaws. Some beds are already tilled, but have weeds starting to germinate. Others still need to be tilled. Plan A is to go ahead and do it anyway, at least in the tilled areas. Plan B is the exotic plan I dreamed up while cutting weeds in the hot sun; namely, cover a section at a time with black plastic, which would keep the rain off for a while, cook any weeds and weed seeds, fumigate the soil, and kill any insect critters lurking therein. The question is - will I dry out the soil or just hold the moisture for a yet longer time? Help! I've got 90 clumps to divide and a bunch more on order for mid to late August delivery.
TIA,
