I built this new bed for free!
Last year, I bought some native plant plugs that are planted in the red mulch behind the new one last year. It was a pack from MNL and it came with with like 6 little native seed packets for free! I wanted to use them and so this was a perfect opportunity.
I mowed a circle really low, dug a moat, sheet mulched using paper bags I've saved, used free compost from our city compost, spread the seeds on the compost, and then covered the seeds with peat moss. (Not pictured)
Fingers crossed this turns in an awesome pollinator garden!! Hoping to get rid of my lawn one chunk at a time.

Do you not get squirrels in your area that like to dig through fresh dirt like this? (If not, I’m extremely jealous. If so, how do you keep them out?)
Nice!
Do you really want to have to mow and trim grass behind it?
