I am living in eastern Ontario area. Is red cedar mulching good for

I mean I wish I could do the following in an area 10x8 feet:

Weed control , then Moisture retention, then Soil improvement, then
Beautification of the yeard ...

Thanks for any hint.

Got a bag attachment for your mower? Grass clippings will take care of
moisture and soil improvement. Your hands will take care of weed control.
Beautification - depends on whether you like the beige color of dried
grass.


Thanks. But my grass is full of weeds now, and I have to clean the
weeds first. The grass clips may not be good.

Do you think 8x10 a big area? To me, now it is so big, what do you
think of it? I am not handy.



As long as you're mowing just leaves, not flowers (from the weeds), you can
use it as mulch. I've been doing this on a 10x10 foot garden for many years.
No problems.
