Re: Re: CULT: Lazy Man's New Flower Bed

There were no gardens at all when I moved here.  I had to build beds in a hurry, since I had to move with no more than 1 month's notice.  Built the 3 iris nursery beds first, put down 6 layers of newspaper, then the topsoil.  Same for sev landscape beds too.  Great for when you're in a rush.

I do the same, and fortunately, I have a good source for well rotted horse manure compost.  However, I do one thing differently; I use about six inches of paper shredder shreds, then sprinkile them hard and tramp around on them to flatten.  This seems to work as well as the newspaper, and gets rid of the shreds.  I do not subscribe to a newspaper anymore, and I have read that the colored circulars you get for free aren't good for the environment.  I work in a medical clinic and  there are tons and tons of papers shredded every day. 
 
Any comments?
