Mulching Your Garden For Better Soil And Growth
Spring Gardens experts urge mulching as a key early practice. Sam Stewart of the Van Alstyne Soil Conservation Service says mulch reduces soil wash, suppresses weeds, keeps soil moist and cool, and adds organic matter from grass clippings straw sawdust or compost to a 3 to 6 inch layer around plants. Mulches prevent moisture loss and cool bare soil, aiding vegetables and flowers.
