Sarah gets into her bearded iris obsession & the latest garden haps before chatting with Janice Groves from Jay's Garden Journal about the benefits of sheet mulching, which you can use to quickly transform your lawn into garden beds - with just cardboard, water, some soil or compost, and mulch. This saves your back from digging, and brings earthworms in to do the aeration for you! Jay also talks tips for edging & growing in clay soil. Jay is a "hype woman" for beginning gardeners and makes gardening accessible through her Instagram and YouTube. She shares great tips on dividing and sharing flowers with your flower friends, and using what you can get easily - or dividing what you already have - to expand your space into a flower haven.
