Mapleton Hill Cottage
Craftsman Garden, Denver
The once grassy backyard of this cute old town Boulder cottage was transformed into a highly functional food garden. Straw was utilized as a cover mulch to keep down weeds and enrich the soil over time as it breaks down.

Another means of mulching. Chicken coop bedding could be used with care.
