That’s what the green mulch/groundcover layer of your matrix is for! It will eventually cover the ground enough to prevent most “weeds” or unwanted plants from germinating. A layer of mulch in the first year helps as well, as Benjamin said, while things get established.
Thank you, Benjamin and Wild Ones!
This was great, and I'm glad I got to enjoy it live. It's probably the best gardening webinar I've ever watched, and I've seen quite a few.
Glad to see this available here!

Joining from Ohio. How do you kill lawn areas before planting? This was great information!!! Thank you!
This 54 minutes video form Benjamin is much better then the academy of K. Norris that ask almost 400 with little to no addition to your understanding.
Hello from Charlottesville, VA!
Hi from Reston, VA!
I wish I had this talk a year ago!
I registered today but never got a link. I hope you will send me the link to watch it later.
How did you kill of them grass or what would you recommend?
Why wouldn't it work to seed grass/sedge matrix first and then coming back in with the forb plugs later, perhaps on a maintenance day?

Never got the zoom link. Was wanting to ask questions
I plan on doing a matrix design under my 100' tall red oak. How can I combat the 1000s of acorns that will germinate with the matrix?
