I have a 40' x 12' asparagus patch. Has anyone tried using a cover crop, like buckwheat, for weed control?

I grow catnip in my asparagus bed. ;-)
Works for me..... It' a mint so it takes over. The asparagus grows right up thru it.
If you let the female asparagus's grow up and fern out, they tend to shade out the weeds anyway.

you will be better off covering the patch with wood chips. Dandelions and other taprooted weeds which are already there will push through, but you will at once dispatch those that propagate by seed.

Why would corn gluten, not work to supress seed germination ?

I have heard of something called "weed and feed" that is supposed to be an oragnic product that uses corn gluten to suppress weeds. I haven't found it yet but I'm thinking of using it in the garden between beds. Has anyone else used this product?
