Sheet Mulching Our Berries


Sheet mulching with actual sheets makes me giggle. Plus, it's brilliantly easier than piecing together cardboard for odd-shaped areas. Here, raspberries are bedded down with torn old sheets and await a topping of sawdust. Last summer, our 13 blueberry bushes in the back orchard got the royal sheet mulch treatment (comfrey + manure + old fabric + straw).
