Mulching Magic

Posted by quentin on Aug 23, 2013 in Landscaping

Magicians have wands, doctors scalpels and gardeners have mulching machines. Our spells improve soil by adding mulch, liberally, which imitates the effect of a forest floor. Rich humus forms under the mulch layer, improving the fertility, water retention and soil fauna biome. An environment which quickly attracts the masters of soil management: earthworms.
This is an organic method I favour as it also provides a way to return all the clippings, cuttings ,weeds and debris back to the garden.
Carbon return offsets the small carbon footprint we have and leads to a concious earth loving method of gardening.
