Your garden is the real life garden. By one woman. Not a team of workers behind the scene. And it's beautiful. Natural. No poison, organic. I love it.
Thank you! All of the above! 🌱🌱🌱
I really appreciate you expressing that you don't enjoy mulching and that you got tired. Social media so often removes the normalcy of life to favor perfection. Your garden looks great! You've inspired me to expand my own hell strip garden this year. Thanks for all the videos.
You are very welcome! I do all of the work in my garden and 1/2 of my garden is a mess but it’s my mess. 😄😆 Thanks for watching! More to come!
It’s always a pleasure to see a garden emerge so quickly and weeds disappear without a lot of work which is why I love sheet mulching. I like your idea of transferring weeds from all over to the new area.
It works great for me! Thank you! 🌱🌱
You’ve really inspired me. I thought I was probably consigned to container gardening. But this looks totally obtainable! My mind is buzzing with the possibilities. Looks beautiful!
You can do it! Save your body and sheetmulch!
Only 2hrs!! Nice..👍🏾
Right!!😁😆
When you quoted "an hour", I was like, yeah right! I've been waiting to see your process from the beginning, so thank you for this. Could you show us propagation if you do it? Your edges are perfect!
😆😁 wishful thinking
Your garden is fabulous. Thank you for sharing your process with us. I will be doing the same method to extend my garden as well.
Thank you! 🌱🌱 GO FOR IT!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 at the end.
Right!! 🤣😂
Great tips on adding a new bed Jay. Yes, I agree, if you can add some top soil or compost before the mulch it helps immensely in keeping it all together. Your garden is breathtaking and it is REAL! Thanks for sharing it🤩
Hi, AJ! Thank you so much for watching and supporting my efforts over the years. 🫶🏾💚
@@jaysgardenjournal you're welcome!
Jay, it is so great to see another video from you. It’s been a heartbreaking week for me. Spending time with you in your garden makes everything seem a little bit better. ❤🌿🌱🌝
Thank you! 🌱🌱 peace to you 🙏🏾
Love Love Love!! This is exactly what I want my little gardens to look like !! Not having a whole team of workers is so encouraging !! I can do this by myself❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴
You absolutely can!🌱🌱🌱
Great video on sheet mulching. You've inspired so many people to start a garden with this method who otherwise would not have done so. Thank you for sharing. 🌻🥰
Thank you so much, Nancy, for being on this journey with me! 🌱🌱💕💕
Great job, It is the bees knees.
🌱 ~Beautiful! Clean, classy, I love it! 🐸
Thank you! 😊
Looks great thank you for showing us
You are so welcome! 🌱
I love sheet mulching. Doubtful I would’ve started as many beds as I have if not for sheet mulching. And it doesn’t take long.
Indeed! 🌱🌱🌱
very nice sister love it awesome job you make it look so easy. I'm motivated to start on mine this year. Thank you so much
You can do it!🌱🌱
It looks so nice...great demo as well. Love your garden!
Thanks so much!🌱🌱🌱
I agree with comment of a real gardener! This is why I love watching Jay. She does the gardens herself and we learn on how to have a successful garden. I have used he
💕💕💕💕
Very nice. I need to try this.
Thank you! 🌱🌱
Gosh Jay I really don't know how you manage to do this entire garden bed fully clothed!. We have extreme heat indexes in deep south Texas and cannot spend too many hours at a time outside. I would garden in a bikini, but I won't do that to my neighbors as to prevent their eyes from bleeding and giving them PTSD from the experience!
Getting ready to do this now, Cant wait.
Go for it! Happy gardening! 🌱🌱
Great job. Thanks for sharing❤
Thanks for watching!🌱🌱🌱
Love this!!!👏👍
Thank you! 🌱🌱
It looks great!😊
Thank you! 😊
I apologize I didn't finish the previous comment. I have used the sheet mulching after watching one of your videos. Thank Jay for sharing with us on how to creat a garden bed. You make the edge of all your flower beds perfect.
Thank you! 🌱🌱
Awesome thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!🌱🌱🌱
I have a kneeling pad and I never think to use it until after I need it. lol
Get that kneeling pad! 😊
@@jaysgardenjournal I used it today finally. 🥳
Looks great! Lots of room for more plants. I love sheet mulching.
Thank you! 🌱🌱🌱
Another garden bed ????? You go girl !!!! I don’t know where you get the energy.
Looks great 👍🏽
Thank you! 🌱🌱
You have a few of my wishlist plants, hoping to find them this year. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Good luck! Thank you! 🌱🌱
TY...
This is exactly what I needed to see before I start over my garden bed in my front lawn. I moved in my house 2 years ago and my supposed garden bed in front became engrossed with so much weed that I started over and took out most of the weed and I recently bought native plants to occupy the space. I get super overwhelmed when I see my yard but your reminder to take it one step at a time makes me less stressed out. What would you do if the soil is more of a dry and clay type before planting? I was gonna loosen the soil with my fork and mix in compost and then plant and she sheet mulching but wasn’t too sure if that was the right step.
Happy Sunday, Jay! 🥰🌱❤️ Another nifty project done, so kool! Your garden was the inspiration for me to add a flower bed to my garden last year. Love how you do everything on your own, so it shows me I can do it too. ❤ I really need to get an edger tool. 🤔
Yes you can !! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I use a rectangular spade. 🌱🌱🌱 happy gardening!
Great job! I’ve done a few (& have a few this season to tackle) and you made it looks so easy peasy! I know it’s a bit of work! You did good Jay! & LOL at the blooper! You’re face tho!! 😆😆😆 thank you! 😊♥️
😂🤣 it happens every time! Thanks for watching🌱🌱
Looks great!!
Thank you! 🌱🌱
can't wait to start mine :)
I used your method from a previous video to extend my front bed and it came out great. Thank you!
Fantastic! Thank you! 🌱🌱
Jay your garden is heavenly! Thanks for sharing with us!
Looks amazing. 😍😍 Putting some stones on the edge will keep the mulch contained in the space.
I prefer a natural edge🌱🌱
You’re amazing!
loved the video, every thing looks beautiful. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!🌱🌱🌱
I love your channel, I was wondering if you have any problems with the water getting to the plants. I love your sheet mulching plan.❤
Thank you! 🌱🌱 I leave open space around the plants.
You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!
It’s not easy but very rewarding! 🌱🌱
Looks great! Very inspiring!
Thanks so much!
Hi Jay! I enjoy watching your work and have started to experiment with sheet mulching myself thanks to your encouragement.
May I ask where you like to get your compost and mulch? I’m shopping my options locally.
I use Soil3 organic compost. 🌱🌱
It looks so nice !
Thank you! 🌱🌱
Very nice.
Thank you
Beautiful work! What kind of mulch you use? I have the red color and want to change it.
It looks great! I have a question. Did you put down compost before the wood chips?
Yes I did. Very little this time
Hi Jay! Beautiful garden. I’m a newbie. Is the top soil and mulch added just to hold the cardboard and newspaper down? And do u get rid of them in the fall? Thx for your tips ❤
Yes, it is! And no. It decomposes. Thanks for watching 🌱🌱
What do you mean by “nteresting weeds” in the grass? I have ajuga in our grass. Will this be problematic if I do sheet mulching. Do you advise not sheet mulching but just picking up the sod if there’s bad weeds?
Hey lets build a water garden!
Great tutorial! I just love your gardens! Do you just put the dirt you remove from edging back into the part of the garden you are covering with cardboard?
Yes I do! I try to repurpose as much as I can.
@@jaysgardenjournal I'm getting ready to try this for the first time! Thanks for the inspiration!
Would you wait until the following year to plant in the free space or just check if cardboard disintegrates?
Just a few months ago
Yours is amazing! I did this last week and it literally looks like boxes with mulch on top. What have I done wrong?
Not enough mulch? 🤷🏾♀️
@jaysgardenjournal I added mulch and that helped a lot! I also dug a wider trench, which seemed to really help also. Thank you so much for your input, and especially thank you for the inspiration!!! You've become one of my favorite gardeners to follow ♥️
È un bel lavoro, ma i cartoni devono essere intonsi, senza inchiostro e adesivi se vuoi essere veramente green! Brava, from Italy!!!! 😊
I don’t want to be truly green. 😁
I want and will be me. 👍🏾
I've been using contractor paper.
Works great!
