Nurturing your organic crops: Mulching

How beaut is this onion? The work of my hands!

Add mulching to your growing crops.

Here, I used grass cuttings from grass that I know is grown organically.

Why Mulching?

โœ…helps retain water and thus, helps keep the roots moist.

โœ… Keeps weeds away

โœ… Prevents soil compaction

โœ… Insulates the soil

โœ…As you water, the nutrients from the mulching are slowly released into the soil and roots and this helps your crops grow better.

โœ…It improves the soil’s fertility.

โœ…Prevents soil erosion.

I prefer grass cuttings or dry leaves that have fallen from trees.
