yea if u find a large patch of stingers clear a spot in the middle.. place down some anti weed sheeting (cheap and found at garden centers. .. grow ur seeds inside then cut holes in the sheeting where u wanna put ur plants.. this will stop any other non smoke-able weeds gettin through.. it’s a bitch tring to find young plants in a stinger patch! Iv lost plants be4 just cudnt see them lol.
