Whats with all the cardboard?!

Volunteers doing an awesome job at laying down the cardboard barrier & layering with a mulch cover!

Have you ever wondered why there is cardboard everywhere?? Well, here are some answers…

For one, cardboard serves as a wonderfully effective weed supressant. This allows new plants to grow & thrive without having to deal with as much competition from pesky weeds. Not only does it provide a protective barrier, it also decomposes down as a baselayer for new plant growth. The combination of cardboard and a mulch covering works amazingly!

Another plus of using cardboard - it minimizes the waste stream! We reuse the cardboard that local companies generously donate, keeping waste out of landfills & plants happy!
