Meadow enhancement

Enhancing a meadow through sheet mulching is an effective landscape design technique that promotes soil health and increases biodiversity by fostering native plant growth. Start by mowing the existing vegetation, then lay down a thick layer of cardboard or newspaper to suppress weeds without disturbing the soil structure. This method enriches the soil as it decomposes, creating an ideal environment for planting native species. By topping this with compost and a thick layer of mulch, such as straw or wood chips, you not only inhibit invasive plants but also provide the necessary nutrients for native plants to thrive, transforming the meadow into a vibrant, resilient landscape.
