Late summer is a great time to prep sites for seeding native seeds in late fall, or planting native perennials later in the fall or next year, once temperatures have warmed enough. ☀️ Cardboard covered with yards of soil is an easy way to smother grass and weeds. It avoids using toxic chemicals to kill the vegetation, keeps the topsoil intact and the soil microbiome alive, and biodegrades over a few months time so you can plant right through it. 🌱
These eco-conscious homeowners will get to enjoy a gorgeous pocket meadow of native wildflowers and grasses next year and for years to come. I’ll come back in November to sow the native seeds so they can stratify over winter and germinate next spring and early summer. Can’t wait to see this little meadow in bloom next year! 🌼
