Through simple steps, you can keep your garden healthy and help nourish the soil and protect your plants from frost and pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your trees, shrubs, and perennials will flourish with a generous layer of mulch on the ground around their roots. Mulching the soil around your plants with an organic or inorganic product will form a protective layer around the plants, will keep the temperature constant, and avoid soil compression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mulching will also keep the soil moist and nourish it with the fundamental humus and nutrients it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the period of the year when mulching your trees, shrubs and perennials will provide great benefits to the plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose your manure accordingly; for your vegetable garden, chicken manure is best, while for the garden in general choose horse manure for mulching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be careful not to add the chicken manure to your garden for the high phosphate level that may destroy the beneficial microbes present in the soil and promote weeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An ideal way to mulch is by adding a layer of compost then covering this layer with another four-inch layer of wood chips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wood chips have many qualities in gardening, they will protect the soil and the plants and are easy to find and not expensive at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember that if you\nstart mulching your garden now your plants and garden, will be surprisingly\nflourishing and beautiful for the next gardening season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
