I laid down cardboard, the topped with with a mix of clay, topsoil and biosolids. I still need to finish the rest of that bed. But, in the meantime, I also applied the same treatment to a couple of spots in the expanded IB2DWs bed. Last Fall, I carved out some new beds and removed SOME turf. Turns out, I left behind A LOT of it, so...cardboard was the play here. I did this in two spots - closer to the Bald Cypress - 'above' the first Baby Blue Spruce.
