Same with us!

We had Bermuda grass that we wanted to suppress and I would say sheet mulching with cardboard and about four to six inches of wood mulch on top has given us pretty good results. The challenge comes from maintaining the edges.

@@kaltrex9465 The main idea with sheet mulching using cardboard is the cardboard will smother, blocking of sunlight over the area you want. The cardboard will disintegrate. We planted native like perennial type plants that provide shelter and food for pollinators. We planted pollinator friendly plants packed closely together which has suppressed weeds.

With putting stones on top over time dirt will build up over and around the stones that will eventually be a growing medium for plants, weeds.

@@GCGV would a good solution for my situation be layers of weed fabric and stones? This would last the longest spending the least

Wonderful

Thank you

We laid the cardboard over existing weed, grass. Easy peasy

Hardwood mulch on top of the cardboard works great in suppressing the unwanted weed or grass. Just need to maintain the edges.

Thanks. Hope you are having a great spring.

We had/have Bermuda grass.

Hi Tom, please see the link to the full video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsiTipCGtp-8c4E.htmlsi=bpWK24fzW9qSkytM The watermelon was about 20 something pounds and about two feet, slightly longer.

We went camping and took three watermelons with us. More growing in the patch.

If you'd like we can save some of the seeds and mail them to you.

Appreciate the offer. 🙏 Very kind of you. Super tempting...they look awesome. Actually already have some watermelon seed 🍉🍉 for next season, so I won't trouble ya.

From our experience cardboard has proven to be effective in smothering grass and weeds. Putting down cardboard and topped with lots of river rocks sounds like a good plan.

Thanks Rani

Yes they are. 100 percent

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!

@susanasante9006 Pumpkins like cucumbers have separate male and female flowers on the same growing plant. Pollen from the male flower's stamen must be transferred to the female. There are different ways to do this. We try to minimize disturbances so we use brush or cotton swabs if there are no bees and such that visit.

See the link to our video about cucumbers and hand Pollinating. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grqFh7KZ2p-6hJc.html

Hello there, we've used both. We prefer the brush because we can reuse multiple times over a long period. Great question, what has your experience been like?

@@GCGV ok awesome. For me I just use the whole anther and I've been waiting to try a paint brush that we I don't Disturbed the pollinators

@@VegetaGrowsAtHome We had assumed the question was what's better between using the brush or Qtips. With that said we use the brush. But pollinators are preferred if or when they visit.

Using cardboard with color and print for sheet mulching can be done, following are the reasons we chose not to use them - Cardboard with color and print often contains inks and dyes that may be laden with chemicals that can potentially leach into the soil and affect the plants. The purpose of using cardboard in sheet mulching is to smother weeds and break down over time, providing organic matter to the soil. Cardboard with color and print may have a coating or finish that slows down decomposition. This can interfere with the natural breakdown process and may not be as effective in suppressing weeds or the grass lawn.

@@GCGV aaaashhh got you plain cardboard it is lol thanks!

@jaysgardejournal- hi, question about collaboration. Please email [email protected] if you would please.

Hi, we're in the gulf coast region of Texas. We usually get some hummingbirds pass through in spring through early summer and then we see some again in the fall. Happy Hummingbird watching. They are amazing.

Good deal Steven, AI has so many uses in gardening. The main takeaway for us is it still needs input from us. The more details you can add to the inquiry the more specific the response.

Thanks for the input. The shot was taken this winter. We collected the fallen leaves and mixed with compost

Hi Kelly, The grass is Bermuda. Installed by the builder. I would say we have about 95 percent success rate. There are areas where we have had to do double lasagna layering of sheet mulch, compost and hardwood mulch. We've accepted that this will be an on going process long term. We definitely are enjoying the results. Please subscribe and like if you haven't. Working on more related episodes. Tell us about your planned projects.

How do you use the cardboard for garden boxes? What garden projects are you planning?

Thanks for the correction. Will update.

@@GCGV You're welcome.

Thanks for the comment. Would love to know what you said. Are you able to comment in English?
