Post Body

Hi all,

Have about a 15x25’ patch of weedy, dry yard with poor city soil in Boston. Not sure what I want to do with the space but priority is weed suppression and creating good soil for future.

If I sheet mulch, what’s the basic way? Just cardboard/butcher paper and wood chips? Or do I need to constantly add organic matter and other layers?

Would like to keep as simple as I can but there are a lot of different approaches to have involved folks are with sheet mulch. Looking for feedback from those with experience!

Thank you in advance :-)
