Many people have experience challenges as they have attempted to 
convert turf to natives or veggies and this event hopes to address those issues and, as a group, come up with best practices for sheet mulching in our area. We may talk about materials, when to sheet mulch, for how long, how practices might differ depending on the turf 
involved, what kind of maintenance to expect, and how we can make it 
easiest, most successful. We will also look at the controversy about 
using sheet mulching to get rid of perennial grasses. Please join us and share your own experience, questions, and ideas.

 
This
event is free and open to the public. 
Parking
