  • DID YOU KNOW?
    Mulching your garden for weeds is great, but that’s not the main reason I use mulch in my garden!
    Mulch is really great at protecting the soil from strong UV rays, keeping the soil temperature regulated, and slowing water evaporation!
    Yes, mulch will suppress weeds, but more importantly it helps keep your plants root system at a more consistent temperature and it allows the stool to stay more moist.
    That means more water in your soil for your plants and less time for you in the garden watering. WIN WIN!

    Not to mention protecting the microbes and adding organic matter to your soil 😊

    It's for people who grow on the ground. Till it in every season add new mulch when bottom mulch starts deteriorating.

    Last year I put my containers out in the open like a traditional garden and even with mulch the plants couldn’t take it. This year I moved them all next to my house and fence and did better but still with this heat need to build shade clothes and irrigation to survive this 102 beat down. Like I said my strawberries I have to start over in the fall. My blackberry also can’t take this even with mulching

    Pretty sure this what my husband keeps trying to explain to me every time he puts a layer of ugly shredded leaves on our garden. But I like your video better. Lol Thanks for showing how well mulch actually works! 👍

    Add mycelium to your garden. Pink or blue oyster mushroom or shitake. It helps the soil and the hay helps the bios

    As the chemical & energy intensive monoculture operations fail due to climate change (that they have essentially chosen to ignore, btw) these techniques are going to be a literal life saver.

    Would it create mold if it stays wet a long time like that?

  • @jgil2675

    I’m pretty sure that’s not mulched that’s more like hay or straw

  • @noeditbookreviews

    Dude, you're dropping soil right on the ground and getting it all dirty!
