Mulch

A continuous application of mulch is all plants need to thrive. Mulch breaks down into the mineral elements that plants need for healthy growth. You might be wondering: Is this some sort of fancy mulch that I could never afford? No, the best mulch is available to all of us and it’s free. It consists of the wood chips found in any tree trimmer’s dump truck. Stop a tree trimmer and explain your need. You will soon find a truckload of mulch on your driveway since it will save the tree trimmer the time and expense of going to the dump. Just make sure you have the help you need to wheelbarrow your free mulch into your yard and place it around your plants, taking care that the mulch does not touch trunks, stems, or leaves since such contact could lead to fungus problems.
