All About Mulch
Season 2
Episode 5
Knowing when and how to use mulch is important, as not all mulches are created equal. Mulch is typically an organic material like shredded bark, wood chips, straw, or grass clippings, that we apply to the surface of the soil around the base of plants. We use it to help our soil conserve moisture, improve its fertility, and mitigate weeds by blocking light from the soil surface.
