Join the Lyme Pollinator Pathway and New England Pollinator Gardens for a crash course in cardboard sheet mulching smother technique! Learn organic mulching tips and strategies that you can use in your own yard this fall to prepare your next native pollinator garden.
Fall is the perfect time to begin preparing a planting site for next spring. When performed appropriately and using the correct cardboard, sheet mulching is a safe and sustainable process that smothers existing turf grass and invasive plants. When left over the winter, you will have a “blank canvass” to plant with native plants in the springtime.
Start collecting larger sheets of clean brown cardboard without glossy surfaces or glues adhered to the surface. Pull off tape. Ideal sheet sizes range 4ft x 6ft or so , though smaller sizes can also be deployed.
Please bring the cardboard with you Saturday morning.
Bring gloves and garden tools. We will ted the rain garden, too.
