Why mulching the soil does not produce results: 2 main mistakes that many people make are to blame
Mulching is one of the important stages of caring for plants in the garden.
Every summer resident knows about this procedure.
It is believed that in this case, moisture is retained for a long time, which means that you can spend less time on watering.
In addition, plant roots are better protected from temperature changes, weeds and sometimes even from some pests.
But it happens that mulch does not always save the plantings.
Usually the reason is usage errors.
For example, the thickness of the mulch layer is too small, but ideally it should be at least 5-6 cm. Only in this case can we expect a positive effect.
It is also important to remember that mulch should be renewed regularly. After all, organic materials are “absorbed” into the soil over time.
If you remember these simple rules, mulching will be a reliable way to preserve your plantings.
