The abundance of positive qualities leaves gardeners with no other options.
There are many materials for mulching: sawdust, wood chips, straw, hay, cones.
They are all good in their own way, but there is one little-known option that is most often used by knowledgeable summer residents.
This material is free, but brings many benefits. Moss is ideal for mulching trees and shrubs.
It looks beautiful, does not lead to stagnation of moisture, but at the same time you can water the plants less often. Moss does not rot, prevents weeds from growing and does not allow pathogenic microorganisms to multiply.
Moss mulch is best suited for moisture-loving raspberries. After abundant watering, the bushes remain mulched and the issue of soil moisture can be closed for a long time.
Moss is also suitable for currants, apple trees and pears. It can also be used for ornamental plants. For example, for hydrangea.
To prevent the mulch from drying out, it is necessary to make a layer that is at least 10 cm thick.
