Homesteaders Reveal Ingenious Zero-Cost Garden Path Solution Using Recycled Cardboard and Free Mulch

A recent online video by homesteaders Abigail & Aaron, known as windyknoll_farmstead, showcases an innovative and cost-effective method for creating garden paths. The project utilizes discarded cardboard and free mulch, demonstrating a sustainable approach to garden maintenance. The video details the process, beginning with the collection of rotting cardboard, which is preferred for easier tape removal. This cardboard is then laid out to form the base of the pathway, effectively suppressing weeds. Following this, a thick layer of free mulch, reportedly sourced from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), is spread over the cardboard. The completed path not only enhances the garden's aesthetics but also provides a practical, weed-resistant surface for easy navigation. The creators emphasize the project's zero-cost nature, highlighting the benefits of repurposing materials and utilizing readily available resources for home gardening.
