Step 1: Clear the area you plant to use out- don’t worry about pulling up grass or any types of small plants growing. You can begin constructing your barrier at this stage- you can see the rock barricade against the house that we have placed ahead of time, and the other barricade that was already in place at the bottom of the photo. We will use these rock barriers to keep the dirt in later.
Step 2: For this step you will need cardboard- the amount will depend on the size of the bed you are trying to make. I just simply rip the pieces up and put the cardboard down like a puzzle piece until the area is covered with the cardboard. If the ground is uneven in the area you’ve chosen, no worries, you can use more cardboard on those areas to build the height of the section to match the surrounding area. The next step will allow you to build up the height of your bed as well. As you can see in the photo, we began to place leaves and grass clippings on top of the cardboard.
