Mulching

Mulch

Plants create their own mulch in the form of fallen leaves. Let's "leave it there" to provide:

• future food for the plant
• holds in moisture in the soil
• reduces temperature of surrounding area by reflecting light (rather than absorbing it like dry ground does - or something like a parking lot on a hot day)
  
• all the beneficial life living on the leaf helps to build the biology in the soil.
