Need some concentrated gardening know-how And an update on clearing my nettle-infested wilderness: I’ve made good progress over the last few days and have already cleared almost half the area. I’ve even covered part of it with cardboard and spread my remaining wood chips on top. What do you think is better: putting cardboard on the cleared areas right now, or waiting another two to three weeks, chopping down whatever has sprouted up again, and then covering it? And then should I immediately punch small holes in the cardboard and plant, or wait a bit longer first? And one more question: I’d like to have something low-growing and sturdy to go between the large stepping stones. What could I use?

In der Regel ist ein bepflanzter Boden immer besser, wie ein unbepflanzter. Nur mal so als generelle Regel. Die Natur versucht immer, den Boden wieder zu begrünen, egal ob mit Pappe oder ohne. Was hast du dir denn gedacht an Bepflanzung? Zwischen Trittsteine kannst du im sonnigen Bereich Thymiansorten verwenden. Da musst du mal googlen. Es gibt bestimmt einige Polsterstauden, die sich da eignen. Was hast du generell für eine Planung? Brennessel zeigen in der Regel einen humosen, stickstoffreichen Boden an.

Ich dachte vor allem an Storchschnabel, den du mir ja auch schon empfohlen hattest
