Mulching

Mulching is one of the easiest ways to put your yard waste to use (especially those fall leaves!). It is incredibly helpful for keeping moisture in the soil, reducing weeds, and replenishing nutrients back into your soil. You can mulch any yard waste and create a top layer for your soil. Wood chips are especially beneficial for preventing weeds and adding much needed plant-beneficial fungal materials back into your soil.
