I worked on two huge gardens up north with this method and expected the same results, but no way!

Well the Fl Univ folks said if you use about 6 to 10 sheets of paper and mulch between each layer of sod as it it stacked it will work.
I read online that is the way to do it also.
But I'm going to need a lot of it and was thinking about 500+papers.
Where is the re-cycle place in the area, anyone know.
