Mulching our garden

🌿 No more weeds!

We have always had problems with weeds in our garden. Cardboard with wood chips over it didn't work, and neither did mowing/weed whacking. We decided to lay down weed fabric, and then wood chips. It seems to be working so far as we have no weeds where we have done it already.

This is what everything used to look like.

Now it looks like this.

We first tried raking the old stuff away and rolling out the fabric.

Then shoveling/raking the old stuff back on top. But the below technique worked even better.

We would rake the old wood chips forward to clear an area and roll the fabric that far.

Then scoop the pile over the end of the roll.

It is already working and looking much better and we are looking forward to no more weeds.
