After our history presentations yesterday, Daniel and Anna helped me sheet mulch around our new raspberry canes.
Sheet mulching is sometimes called "lasagna mulching" because you put down a layer of compost, then a layer of paper or cardboard to suppress the grass and weeds . . .
. . . and finally a layer of wood chips or other mulch on top. Eventually the paper or cardboard breaks down, leaving just nutrient-rich soil that retains moisture and has relatively few weeds. At least, that's the idea. :)
While we mulched our berry patch, a flock of wild turkeys meandered into our neighbor's backyard. I love autumn in New England!
