Cover crops LIVING MULCH
“Living mulches act as helpful companions to the main crops around them by complementing their growing needs and protecting the soil”
One way to support good soil is to keep it covered using an organic mulch. We’re all familiar with mulches like straw or woodchip, but the benefit of growing a living mulch also needs to be considered.
Healthy gardens are built on healthy soil. Without it, it’s impossible to create the living and sustainable foundation an abundant garden needs. Mulching your garden provides plentiful benefits. Not only does it retain soil moisture and protect precious top soil, it helps minimise weeds and fosters an active soil ecosystem of microbes, fungi, bugs and earthworms to support thriving, happy plants.
