That was a great thread suggestion. Sheet mulch. Although it makes me think that I'm getting to the planting party late. I was hoping to plant for this spring.
Oh, I've been watching! For 15 years! I get those weeds with the round prickly thorn balls. They served as a nice faux lawn when mowed in the springtimes. There's a bit of crabgrass out there as well.
My 20 chickens did a pretty good job of clearing it all out but I see some sprouts coming in. I plan to start small as I have pretty limited time available to play in the dirt. Great advice though and love your enthusiasm. I feel it!
I attached some pictures but I don't see them in preview. New here : / so not sure if they'll show up.
One is end of spring/beginning of summer. You can see what ;ooks like lawn. It's crabgrass and that prickly ball weed mowed.
The other is end of summer when all weed was fried and incredibly weed pokey balls everywhere.
Last looking toward house is probably sometime in early winter.
Thanks again all for your kind help!
