Let’s talk MULCHING
So, what is mulch?
MULCH is any material placed on the surface of the soil to trap moisture.
Start mulching in your garden to:
– Reduce water evaporation
– Prevent erosion and protect soil
– Stop weed seeds from germinating
– Organic mulch adds nutrients to the soil
Types of mulch
a) Organic:
– compost
– peach pips
– bark chips
– macadamia shells
– leaf litter
b) Inorganic:
– gravel
– stones
– paving
When mulching, cover all bare soil between plants
Use bark chips or pebbles for indoor plants
