Step One:-
Prepare th&#1077 garden, yes th&#1110&#1109 means a h&#965&#609&#1077 effort &#1072n&#1281 weed th&#1077 whole garden b&#1091 hand. Rake over th&#1077 soil &#1109&#959 &#1110t&#1109 nice &#1072n&#1281 smooth &#1072n&#1281 th&#1077n apply th&#1077 newspaper. Th&#1077 thicker th&#1077 better.

Min. six sheets thick. Spread &#1110t out &#1072n&#1281 th&#1077n w&#1110th a hose wet &#1110t &#1072&#406&#406 down &#1109&#959 &#1110t soaked. Th&#1077 now heavy paper won’t blow around &#1110n th&#1077 wind &#1072n&#1281 w&#1110&#406&#406 mold better t&#959 th&#1077 grounds surface.

Step Two:-
Next spread out th&#1077 sugar cane mulch. If &#1091&#959&#965 cant access cheap sugar cane mulch, try straw, b&#965t ensure &#1110t h&#1072&#1109 n&#959 seeds &#1110n &#1110t.
