Lay paper first...

Always lay paper before mulch.  You are throwing your money away if you don't.  I laid mulch last year without paper and wow...look at those weeds go!  Replenish?  Nope...re-do...yes.  I have to admit, this task seemed like it was lasting forever but, there it is, one side is done.    I had pulled weeds on the other side but not done anything else with it yet and I hope to lay paper and mulch before it goes nuts again.  I feel like I get my fair share of weeds and someone else's as well. I don't know if it has to do with the fertility of the soil plus the fact that the water table is only a few feet down but hot damn....those suckers can grow!  I hope my little trick allows me to sit back an watch the planned plants grow.  Another thought...great workout! :)
