Mulching and Deep Soaking for a Healthy Garden

Henry Pree advises proper watering by soaking dry soil to six inches or more, avoiding light sprinkling which fosters shallow roots. Mulching reduces labor, sustains moisture, cools soil, and minimizes soil splash. Use 1–2 inch layers with organics or up to 6 inches for straw or leaves, and fertilize with 10-6-4 before mulching to replace nitrogen lost during decay. The Extension Service urges home gardeners to grow more and savor vine-fresh produce amid rising prices.
