The importance of Organic Mulch can never be over emphasised
Mulch retains moisture and eliminates most weeds, while
maintaining a healthy soil structure by encouraging a
vigorous worm population.
DO use Pine bark, Compost, Mushroom compost, Stable straw,
Leaves, Grass clippings, Wood chips, Wood shavings, Sawdust,
and Seaweed for mulch material.
DON'T use grass clippings and stable straw too thickly, as
they will generate heat.
DO hose down seaweed to wash excess salt away before placing
on the garden.
DON'T use pine needles or gum tree leaves too thickly, as the
material will form a mat which will not allow moisture to
pass through.
DO place mulch on the garden to arround four inches deep but
not too deep that water and air cannot penetrate.
