@littleacreliving: We’ve started using grass clippings as a natural mulch in our raised garden beds — and honestly, it’s one of the easiest (and most overlooked) ways to keep weeds down 🌱 Right now we’ve especially been layering them thick around our cucumbers and dill, which are growing up inside a trellis. The grass creates a soft, breathable barrier that not only blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds, but also helps retain moisture in the soil — a game-changer during hot, dry stretches ☀️ The best part? It’s totally free. Every time we mow now, we are starting to pile it up and put it to good use in the garden. We’ve found this works beautifully in gardens both in ground & raised! As well as not just the trellised ones. It breaks down slowly over time, feeding the soil without compacting it. If you’re looking for a low-effort way to boost your garden and cut back on weeding time, this might just be the hack you’ve been missing 💚 We’re learning and growing with every season, and we’re so thankful to share what’s working for us as a family. Come be part of the journey 🫶 #gardentips #gardening101 #homesteading #homesteadgarden
