I just found your video, I have a garden that was neglected when I was taken ill and no one in my family wanted to tackle it but you just helped get back in the game thanks.

[@zukosmom3780]

Beautiful. Just beautiful

You are so welcome!

[@deborahthompson5041]

Very nice and inspiring. Beautiful too.

[@richardbarber5911]

You are a beautiful person, inside and out. And so is your garden. What an inspiration! Just started sheet mulching my front yard in Sarasota, Florida so that I don't have to pay to have it mowed. Good for the wallet and good for the planet. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Thank you! 🌱🌱🌱

[@bootboy17]

Nice garden beds, you will never go hungry. I love your style.

[@PeggyMills]

Wow! Beautiful as you are! I too have used this method.

[@beaeberts3873]

I have never seen a chocolate mimosa before. I love it!

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Isn’t she a beauty!Thanks for visiting the garden🌱🌱🌱

Contractor paper works as well for sheet mulching. Very inexpensive for a roll.

[@fanaticgardener11]

Where do I get contractor paper?

[@sharonmiller758]

​@@fanaticgardener11Box stores. Or a hardware store. Leaf bags also work. Brown paper grocery bags work, too. Enjoy!

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Indeed! Luckily, I’ve never had to buy any cardboard. I find a lot at grocery stores and friends deliver their boxes to me.

[@milf72]

[@dalilamendoza44]

This is the inspiration I needed to add more flower bed to my yard and less useless grass.

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Go for it! Thanks for visiting the garden🌱🌱🌱

Just like you, your gardens look fantastic!

Im so glad I discovered your channel! You are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

[@jaysgardenjournal]

You are so welcome!

[@omasthoughts47]

I love it! I’m going to try that mulching. We had a bad hurricane that almost took everything out so starting from scratch. A blessing and a curse. Thank you for all the great tips.

[@jaysgardenjournal]

You can do it!

[@kimmicannon5629]

Love sedum joy!

[@oldvillagefarm1348]

Wow you have accomplished so much in such a short time. Absolutely beautiful 🌿

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Thank you! 😊

[@rondvu59]

Your gardens are absolutely beautiful, amazing and gorgeous. Thank you for posting.

[@jaysgardenjournal]

You are so welcome!

[@karinhamann5019]

Love the Before and After photos. I lay brown paper down (I use the garden bags from Costco) and cover with mulch for weed control, It lasts for ~2 years. Helps me to focus on a few beds per season.

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Great idea! Thanks for visiting the garden🌱🌱🌱

[@dianne3971]

Your yard is beautiful and such an inspiration for gardeners...like me!!

[@sweatfocusrepeatbelieve952]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Love all of it especially long border!!

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Thank you so much!

[@user-mf1es4bf3p]

Amazing garden. You've worked so hard. Could you share how to maintain sheet mulching during the season? Do weeds break through mid-year? Do you spot fix and redo the sheet mulching?

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Yes, I reapply if the weeds spring back vigorously but they rarely do if I keep the soil covered with natural mulch (leaves, wood chips, etc)

[@greensage395]

I am in the Desert SW, I have only known Bermuda Grass, and making a bed like this is like inviting it to grow.....it is the oddest thing, it grows where you don't want it. All of my beds must be at least two inches below the surface of the ground so as to deep water the roots. Most days I find myself going from planting bed to planting bed moving the hose as it fills up...Bermuda loves that too! LOL Jay, you have a Dreamscape Garden!

[@VelvetyMoon]

Beautiful! What a difference a few years and your hard work has made. How do you keep the grass from growing over into your beds?

[@jaysgardenjournal]

I add more mulch as needed. And I try to make it a habit to weed my garden beds on a regular basis.

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Jay you have such a lovely way about you. 💕 The garden are amazing. So much great information shared.

[@videoability1]

Love the before and after!! Beautiful!

[@SouthCarolinaTransPlant]

You got me here yelling at the phone! Had to close my office door. Darn add popped up at the kitchen window! Way to represent the 8 -oh- three! In the words of DJ Khaled, "Another one!" 😅 This is why you are linked in my bio! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Aaaaaayyyeee!!! Reppin’ all day every day 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🌱🌱🌱🌱

[@SouthCarolinaTransPlant]

@@jaysgardenjournal I used your newspaper method on a slope that divides our property lines. The hose as a guide was a great idea. Our landscaper came by as I was doing it . He asked where'd I gotten the idea from? A woman on KZbin! 😄😄😄

[@cyn4rest]

Wowzer. Very impressive!

[@connieanderson2281]

Love your garden tours

[@patticriss2238]

You are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

[@teresaellington5348]

Beautiful gardens 🥰 Thank you for sharing the sheet mulching technique too, I’ve tried it and it’s working great!

[@gracec1665]

So much work! But, your results are beautiful!

[@mssumerloving]

I want to create an island garden bed in the front of my house, basically connecting 2 evergreen trees. It's a big job. You motivated me to do it....😅😊

[@EEE-ds8bb]

Absolutely love your garden. Gardening produces sanity, doesn't it? I never feel like I've had a truly good weekend unless I can get some dirt under my fingernails! Have you ever grown China asters? Not sure how they'd do in your southern climate. I grow them in Rhode Island

[@SHEEndurance]

Absolutely beautiful and inspirational!!

[@hylandgundy2698]

Love watching you Jay. I've used the sheet mulch method too.

[@catherineslavin7324]

Amazing what you've been able to accomplish!

[@marylandsharona]

How do you water all of your garden. Its beautiful 😍

[@VIncentSunflowers]

Thank you! I'm definitely going to sheet mulch my side yard over-run by ferns. But may l ask, do you think cardboard will be strong enough? I'll try a small area first to see how it goes. Happy gardening!

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Go for it! 🌱🌱

[@summerofstacey6676]

Wow! You have done a beautiful job with your garden!! I’m also in zone 8 in north Texas…how long did it take for the cardboard to disintegrate and allow you to plant in those beds? I’ve just started using paper bags as weed suppression with compost on top. Your property is such an inspiration!

[@nekpeniroghama1798]

Nice work! Pls where did you get the wide leaf that is turning purple on garden bed number one?

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Found it at Lowe’s about 2years ago

[@nekpeniroghama1798]

@@jaysgardenjournal Thanks pls what is the name of the plant?

[@CinDyJ1973]

I love your garden it’s so full and beautiful. I have a question about the cardboard process. Do you do it in the fall and then ready to plant for spring? Is it just cardboard and mulch and nothing else? The reason I’m asking is I’m very interested in trying this in my yard.

[@mssumerloving]

How often do you add more mulch?

[@Chicadee713]

How long does this cardboard last? I'm assuming that over time the cardboard will breakdown allowing weeds to grow. Will you need to redo them with new cardboard?

[@idcathome]

After creating the garden bed, do you recommend installing edging around the bed? Or do you find edging is not necessary?

[@jaysgardenjournal]

Not necessary. I like a natural edge 🌱

[@dalilamendoza44]

how many layers of cardboard do you recommend. I'm in Texas and I have bermuda grass.

[@jaysgardenjournal]

I use one layer, but I overlap the edges really well

[@connieanderson2281]

After you put cardboard and soil down, how long do you have to wait before you start planting?

[@jaysgardenjournal]

You can plant first then sheet mulch or wait 6-12 months
