I had a pile of old newspaper and cardboard sitting in my yard before I moved it. Once I moved it...i discovered the pile of fantastic rich soil beneath. It really seems to work!

I live in Northport and have a huge garden prepared by the previous owner (newspaper, mulch, raised separate beds, etc). I am fairly organic and want to plant an organic veggie garden but need some private help. I wonder if you are not too far from me if you are willing to come and have a look, give me some recommendations, a plan of what to plant when, etc. If you cannot do this, is there an organic gardening club on LI that can offer me some help? I look forward to hearing from you! Jennifer, Northport, NY Very helpful. I live in Northport and have a huge garden prepared by the previous owner (newspaper, mulch, raised separate beds, etc).

Many books talk about putting down newspaper and then another product on top of it but "kill mulch" is a new term to me. When I do this I take a large plastic bucket with water and place it near where I'm working. I soak the newspapers in it first, they don't fly away then and you have much more time to get your woodchips or compost on top. This is very similar to Lasagna gardening.
