Recently, more and more summer residents are paying attention to mulching, as this is a very useful procedure.
It is enough to try it once to fully appreciate its advantages.
If you don’t know what to use for the mulch layer, then the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises paying attention to three worthy options.
What are we talking about?
Compost
This is probably the best option that can be imagined. Compost will not only protect plants from temperature fluctuations and control moisture, but also have a beneficial effect on the development and health of crops in general.
Sawdust
They can be used either in pure form or together with compost. In any case, this option definitely deserves your attention.
Sawdust not only performs its basic functions, but also significantly improves the chemical composition of the area.
You can also consider the option of wood shavings.
Straw
This is a good option, which is often used by summer residents. Straw copes well with moisture retention and helps protect plants from cold or heat.
However, it is important to inspect the straw before use: do not allow weed seeds to get in.
