Mulching
Mulching is a gardening and agricultural practice of covering the soil surface around plants with a layer of organic or inorganic material. This layer of material can consist of a variety of materials, such as leaves, straw, grass clippings, wood chips, or plastic sheets. Mulching helps to conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. It also adds organic matter to the soil as the mulch decomposes over time, improving soil fertility and structure. Additionally, mulching can reduce soil erosion and increase the aesthetic appeal of garden beds. Mulching is a simple and effective technique that can benefit a wide range of crops and plants.
