I let everything grow so I could see what it was, but it ended up all being a bunch of shitty invasive species, so I cut it all super short and weed whacked the stuff close to the house that I couldn’t get with the mower.
And today I’ve just got done putting the occultation tarp down still need to put some more on the side of the house but I’ll do that tomorrow.
Got rid of 8 Japanese yews, 3 burning bushes and a patch of orange day-lilies. I think I’m gonna solarize with a layer of cardboard with tarp on top for a few weeks then remove the tarp put a layer of mulch then soil then mulch to make sure these invasive plants don’t come back up especially the lilies ( I’m not entirely sure if the cardboard, mulch, soil, mulch is an effective method but I’d think so). Also does anyone have a good method of getting tiny rocks out of a plot without it being tedious or am I just gonna have to rake them and pick them up.
