Today we "built" a garden using the sheet mulching method.
Firstly we got a shape the garden must be in, it was 's' shaped, then we started putting the layers. The layers consisted of: compost, a cut cactus, cardboard, green plants, grass, Queen of the night and lastly old dry leaves.
After each layer we made sure the shape is kept and we watered it the whole time so it was sopping wet.
To plant things in there you make a hole in that goes through the cardboard. The plant must then be planted and the roots must be covered with top soil.
The reason we used this method is because it is very quick and effective, it gives the plant an optimum place to grow.
