RE: the Easy vegetable garden - Grow vegetables with no knowledge and just 5 minutes a day and only 5 sqft of space or on your balcony!

I am curious.
Why are weeds absent from this method of mini-farming? How does an anti-weed cloth actually help?

    well2 main reasons

    1. the soil used doesnt have any seeds in it
    2. the weed cloth is a physical barrier to literrally stop them coming up from below the ground .. but allowing drainage.

    Right. So unlike a typical garden which has a soil that may contain anything e.g. dandelion seeds, this soil is like an empty canvas. The weed cloth is used by placing it below the soil to prevent any unwanted entrants coming from below while allowing proper drainage. Thanks!
