Eliminating Grass In The Flowerbed, The Organic Way

    My flowerbed has grass in it,

 the ground is very hard and 

it would take a lot of time and

 energy to spade it out. 

I tried this with newspaper

 last year in another area, 

and it worked very well. 

Grass sods, newspaper and mulch,

 break down adding nutrients to your soil,

I made an edge with an edger first. 

"Edging A Flowerbed" click here to view.

The edging will prevent grass
from growing into the flowerbed.

Material Needed:

An Edger,

Natural Cedar Mulch and

Newspaper soaked in a bucket of water.    

 

After soaking newspaper in
 a bucket of water, a few minutes,
I placed it on the grass.
About 10 pages thick (Old News)
If you run out of Newspaper,
Cardboard will do.

I placed the natural cedar mulch
over the newspaper.
About 4 inches thick
I packed it down with my feet
Then I watered it to pack it more.

New plants can also be planted if you cut

a hole and remove the grass from the hole.
It will take several months, the grass sods, 

newspapers and mulch will eventually

all break down, adding nutrients to your soil. 

The worms will be happy......and you will be too....
