Creative Mulching for Spring Gardens 

May 2020
  ⁄  
Jeanette Larson

Many people are gardening now for the first time, or more seriously than ever before. Seed choice, planting dates, soil composition, and bed types are all important factors. After you figure all that out and get your plants in the ground, you need to consider mulch. Mulch not only helps keep down weeds, but it can also be a money saver.
