October 24, 2008, Newsletter Issue #213: Preparing your area for a groundcover

Tip of the Week

If you are planting a groundcover, it is important that you remove all turf grass, weeds, and other vegetation to eliminate competition. The grass may be killed using an herbicide, by covering it with a sheet of dark plastic for a few months, or if the area is manageable, you can remove the sod by hand or with a sod cutter. Once dead, most vegetation can be turned into the soil, adding organic matter.
