I just put down the cardboard and covered it with stable bedding when we were younger and could do that. Lady Bender is 80 and I am 88 and I have to use a electric scooter to get around so we have cut back on the garden size. I’m just starting to have memory lapses and haven’t driven since December...
I’ll be doing something like that.
We have lots of wood to chip, lots of leaves and enough lawn for a good amount of grass clippings.
Sorry to hear you are having so much difficulty.
Getting old is not for sissies.
