sheet mulching
yesterday i spent several hours sheet mulching a small portion of our backyard
i will continue to do it in regular sheet mulching sessions until the entire backyard is covered and weed free
sheet mulching is excellent exercise, particularly when you live on a hill
has anyone else done it, the sheet mulching

Re: sheet mulching
go to the liquor store and get cardboard boxes
remove any tape or other plastic packaging and lay the boxes flat on the ground
leave a six-inch overlap between boxes to ensure no sunlight gets through
do that until the desired area is completely covered
call an arborist who delivers wood chips for free and get a fuckton of chips delivered to your house
put them in the wheelbarrow with the pitchfork and dump them atop the cardboard
do that until the desired area is completely covered
all vegetation including weeds is suppressed and within several months decomposes back into the earth
provided you don't till the soil and churn up old seeds in the process, you now have nice healthy weed-free earth ready for gardening or a child's play area or whatever else you want to do there

Re: sheet mulching
the weeds are high and deadly in my backyard, they harbor bugs and tower over my child and dog
once mulched, the backyard will become a fully operative play area complete with dozens of mosquito-repelling herbs and shrubs grown in my garage

Re: sheet mulching
I’ve actually been thinking about doing this but with rocks instead of mulch. Make a little zen garden or some shit.

Sounds like a lot of work. Just use weed killer
