Anyone who has a garden or landscape bed will benefit from using mulch.
It creates a barrier to prevent weeds from growing, retains moisture in
the soil and adds organic material. An easy and inexpensive method to
keep the weeds in the dark longer is to start with a layer of newspaper
or cardboard. Watch a short instruction video here: http://youtu.be/p57bah6GxNw
Be
sure to overlap the edges of the paper in order to cover the soil
entirely to prevent weeds and seeds from seeing the light. Cover the
paper with a layer of bark mulch or other organic material such as straw
or grass clippings.
