In today’s episode of How to Build a Food Forest, we are sheet mulching the devil’s lettuce. No, I’m not talking about cannabis, I’m talking about Bermuda grass 👿.

We started off by weedeating all the grass down as close to the soil as possible while avoiding our good plants. Then, top dressed the whole area with aged horse manure and a liquid inoculation of IMO3 and watered everything in well.

Next, we layer cardboard over the area making sure to cut out holes for the production plants. Keep the cardboard sprayed with water so it doesn’t blow away in the OK wind.

Finally, add a 3-4” layer of wood chips on top to lock everything in place. Water thoroughly to ensure all the wood chip and cardboard are saturated.
