Advice from the Owner
Using the mulch board over the lawn for several weeks was a great way to kill the lawn and preserve the soil. Added a thin layer of dirt and mulch on top to keep the yard aesthetic in the weeks leading up to planting. Love how the yard has transformed from a mundane grass field to a lively garden.
