Mulch to Save Water
Mulch to Save Water
Nature is always hard at work mulching. Leaves drop continuously as plants try to protect their roots - an evolutionary stratagem used to conserve moisture, to help the soil retain warmth, or to suppress the growth of other competition. Mulching is nature's way of creating vibrant and power plant life.
