Front yard Cardboard sheet Mulching!
I'm tired of "Grass-wrasslin' & this ends all that.
I'm in Zone 8a..and live in a forest which presents special issues with thorny vines & massive poison ivy..(which I'm starting to believe sprays you when it sees you coming with a spray..ha!)
Got ChipDrop.com for mulch!
I learned that lesson after 💸💸 of dollars spent on bag mulch that only lasts 1 season.

Did you put this down to kill the weeds and grass before planting?
My dream! I also used ChipDrop for our big expansion this year. Pain to move but I’ll take it over the hassle and cost of bagged mulch.
That’s a lot of work. I sheet mulched less than 1k sqft and used big appliance boxes and it was exhausting. I also used chipdrop!
That’s a lot of glue to add to your soil.
I’m just worried about flooding, but I LOVE the idea.
I work a no till farm so I’m all about this.
WHoa! That’s dedication. good job.
Wowwww I’m impressed!
Wow! So much room for creativity here. I’m excited to see your plans for it!
I did this but I will warn you… you are creating the perfect environment for an earwig infestation. They will turn your plants into lace and eat your seeds before they sprout. Ask me how I know 😭😭😭
I’m curious as to how you sourced that much cardboard?! Impressive!
Just tarp with silage tarp, remove tarp, spread chips, spread compost, amend, plant
We did this in a small area at my parents house. Checked back a couple days later and it had turned into termite paradise 🙁
This is just one section of the front yard..🫨
I have another section this size to start on as soon as I mulch this out..
I hope I live to complete it..🤣🤣
It’s gonna look so good, I’m SO glad I turned my yard into garden and am very excited for you!
Also, I used Lawn staples to hold down the cardboard..
There are 600 staples out there..🫡
Ah, this is a lush paradise I wish I had. (Rn I currently live in the hood with a small yard, and my mother wants us to move to a camper with an even smaller yard and less privacy.)
You’re welcome!
Now get ready to talk to yourself constantly 🙂 🙃 while you’re out there..
And have your “Garden treat” ready!
I like a cold pop!😁
It looks exactly like a homeless encampment now
Sheet mulching done right! Looks great!
Lol…🤣🤣🤣
Give me a couple weeks…😉😅
Ive just spend probably $500 on mulch this year only to discover chip drop?? Signed up immediately for the forest path we are making lol
Oh hell no.
This is a disaster for soil health.
