One great way you can make your gardening life easier is to practice sheet mulching for weedy areas, shrub borders, and new garden beds. Imagine walking around your well-mulched garden, with no weeds or grass poking their heads up and demanding attention. All is peace, while the mulch and cardboard do the work. This series of 3 videos gives you tips on how to use sheet mulching in your garden to minimize your maintenance time.
