What can I say, even under stage 4 water restrictions, I had the best grass in Geelong and I didnt want it, so I mulched with cardboard.

Then I applied wood chips, admitedly this picture was taken last month that is June 2008, when I had to re-apply. But the garden looks good.

Notice the various mulches, and layers.

Pea straw
Mushroom compost
Leaf Litter (from my neighbour, who cleaned out her gutters and then left a pile of 'gunk' and leaves outside my gate, very usefull
