No-Weed Garden Update

Growing on plastic, in containers, has been the easiest garden I've ever had.  Lay a piece of $11 plastic down, cut a hole and place a bucket on it, and hook up the auto-watering PVC pipe connected to a 55-gallon drum.  Sit back and watch it grow.  So, the no-weed garden is outside, and because of that, you have outside issues to deal with.  Lately, I've had some squash bugs, powdery mildew, and the dreaded squash vine borer (SVB).  The SVB has done the most damage literally killing about 5 of my yellow summer squash plants.  These are things gardeners must content with when growing outside.  It's why I prefer growing in the greenhouse.  It is screened and easier to control.  Some plants, like squash and melons, are just simply better suited to outside growing as they take up lots of space.  Here is my latest video on the no-weed garden:
