Many residential gardeners simply don't have these materials on hand. And, many have loads of cardboard or newspaper to put to good use. Thanks for sharing!

Vaden of Oregon Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:10:31 +0000 http://www.gardenhelp.org/?p=1140#comment-36916 The whole process can be pretty practical, but I'm leaning toward recommending leaves or some alternative for the layer now, near urban areas, because using paper products can trigger increased pollution and tree cutting in other locations. It stems from shrinking recycleables. So I figured that leaves or something from the same property may provide a more eco-friendly alternative.

I've removed most of my lawn. When we first moved, almost 18yrs ago, we had one corner that was filled with creeping jenny, the kind with the deep roots. I totally covered it with plastic (which I would never use for mulch) and left it a year, It actually killed it. I then was able to start fresh. I am so glad the creeping jenny was only in that corner, brought in years before in some sand. …great post. I’ve removed most of my lawn.
