Operations | Weeds: Cover Crop

It's been a while since I have set foot on Edna's Garden, Gutterside. We have had a lot of rainfall this year. The weeds have grown up. I have heard that they weeds have filled up the farm. Weeds are now my biggest challenge. It is expensive to keep the farm free of weeds (unwanted plants). I have the idea of using weed barriers to cover the ground so that the weeds to grow up over the Aloe Vera plants. There is only one problem: the cost to implement this is expensive. It will cost me approximately J$4M today to cover half the property (i.e. 1 acre) at Gutterside. I am planning to visit the farm in the next 2 weeks. My mind has been on the farm and the plans to manufacture from the produce of the farm. The company's name will be called Gutterside Farms Ltd.
