Instructions:
Step 1:
Wear your gloves and pull out the weeds. You can also cut the weeds or the grass down to about a quarter of an inch and just lay your cardboard on top before pulling the weeds out.
Step 2:
Check the plants if they are still alive. If you notice that the stem is a little bit green, you can cut it as much as you can without shocking the plant too much. The reason for this is that it will send a signal to the plant that it needs to grow and will help the plant not to have to sustain so much foliage when it’s already struggling.
Step 3:
Cut the cardboard into pieces and place them into the soil. Try to cover as much as you can. Even if the cardboard is biodegradable, it will still take a little bit more time for the water to go through it. Because of that, you need to cut out a little perimeter around each of your plants so that you can make sure they can get the water they need. Once done, water the cardboard to help it mold to the ground.
Step 4:
Liberally apply your mulch on top of the wet cardboard. Spread them evenly.
