We plan to add a few new garden beds this year, and I'm wondering if I can prep them in late winter for spring planting? Everything I've found says ideally you start them in fall, but we missed that boat.
Our plan is to layer
cardboard, larger sticks, smaller sticks, rotted
hay,
compost, topsoil, then leaf mulch. Currently we have snow on the ground, which might melt this week, but the ground is frozen solid.
We aren't digging, just building up from the cardboard weed barrier. Thoughts?
