Plant Native Species: Live Plants: Recommended Actions Smothering the LawnSmothering is less labor intensive but requires an entire growing season. After 5-6 months, it will be possible to plant directly through the dead sod. Cover the soil with heavy black plastic, old carpet, tarps or other opaque material for an entire growing season. Make sure to secure the cover tightly. Seams should overlap about 6 inches to ensure complete coverage. It needs to remain intact in order to kill weeds and seeds near the soil surface. Do not cultivate or till deeper than 1-2 inches with this method to avoid bringing up weed seeds that will compete with the natives. |
