Introduction:
Say goodbye to back-breaking weeding and hello to a low-maintenance, lush garden! My grandma’s time-tested method keeps her garden virtually weed-free—without ever bending down. This clever trick uses common ingredients and a simple process that works wonders, especially for flower beds, vegetable patches, and garden pathways.
Ingredients:
Cardboard or thick layers of newspaper (no glossy pages)
Mulch (wood chips, straw, or bark)
Water (from a hose or watering can)
Optional: White vinegar (for spot treatment)
Instructions:
Prepare the Area: Clear any large weeds or debris from the garden surface. No need to dig—just remove visible plants.
Lay the Base: Cover the soil completely with cardboard or 6–10 layers of newspaper. Overlap edges to block weed growth.
Water Thoroughly: Dampen the paper or cardboard so it settles into the soil and begins to break down.
