Workshop Series - Mulching Your Garden
Ron explains
the importance of allowing your garden soil to warm up in the Spring
before you cover it with the mulch of your choice. Remember
that wood chips and sawdust take nitrogen out of the soil as they
break down. Also, let the top layer of your soil dry out
before applying mulch.
