I think they are correct for certain areas of the world. If you live somewhere that is very humid and gets tons of rain from heavy storms all summer, it actually can help your garden plants survive and not drown from surface pooling
Yeah I agree with that.
> implying they know what i think
(it’s nothing. i think nothing.)
People make things so complicated… Go to the nearest patch of relatively undisturbed native forest. Look at what is on the ground. That is what you should emulate.
Where I’m at, it’s a life saver to retain moisture in the soil, as we’re very dry and windy. Without it, plants need watering much more often!
Try straw or hay. Its wonderful but last way less long.
Same here actually. I liked the take on looking at it a different way though
I agree with everything in this article. I see wood mulch as a decoration, nothing more.
It’s a huge fire hazard in forest fire prone areas. Basically like surrounding a house with fire starter.
All depends on your climate. I haven’t mowed most of my backyard in two years, can’t even walk back there. That’s far more of a fire hazard than were it covered in mulch.
