Planning to start my first forest next year. I’ve done lots of sheet mulching in the past for vegetable gardens. I’m planning to run my chickens through the area to fertilize and kill off the grass, then dump a ton of wood chips. I could throw down a bunch of compost before the wood chips, but I’ve heard you don’t want to fertilize too heavily before planting to encourage roots to dig deeper.
Will the chickens sufficiently kill the grass so that I don’t need to lay cardboard etc?
Decent plan? Is there a better approach?
