Cardboard
When you are done planting the garden, the next thing to do is to lay down the mulch. Before you can do that, it is a good idea to add a protective measure to keep the garden weed-free. You just need to put cardboard pieces on the ground around the plants before you add the mulch. Put the mulch on top of the cardboard after that. The cardboard is great at preventing the growth of weeds!
Shoe Organizer
If you are trying to save some space in the garden, you should make a vertical planter with the use of an over-the-door shoe rack. You should stick a couple of holes at the bottom of every pocket to let the water drain. Fill every one of those with soil. Once you are done with that, you can plant whatever you want in each section. This is a useful method if you want to create an at-home herb garden. You can simply loop the organizer over an outdoor door. That is all there is to it!
