Living on a Dime - Blog Party on Friday - Saving Water in your garden

Put down a couple of layers of newspaper, then add grass clipping on top of the newspapers.  The newspaper act as a weed blocker, and the grass clipping will break down adding organic matter back into the soil.  This system also keeps the moisture in the soil, saving time and money on watering.  Do not use the color ads, just the black and white printed pages.  At the end of the gardening season just work the whole thing back into your garden with a rototiller.  You can also add the fall leaves, and clean up in the spring.  Have fun and enjoy your garden more with less work!  Here is the link for more great ideas: http://www.livingonadime.com/frugal-friday-link-party/#more-21300
