Has anyone ever tried "compost in place"? This method involves growing a cover crop, crimping or "chop and drop" terminating, layering with wood chips and repeat! It seems like a wonderful way to get that brown/green lasagna, and keep weeds out! I Have fruit trees and berry patches planted throughout my lawn, and I feel like this would be an awesome way to keep an area healthy, and the active accumulation of plants/wood chips seems like it would do a great job of keeping the grass from creeping in. I got the idea from "Well Grounded Garden" YouTube channel, she does hers in raised beds. I think she uses and oat/pea mix, sometimes mustard. (Cross posting into cover crop since this is a combination technique)
