Mulch, Mulch, Mulch

We just can’t say enough about the wonders of mulch. If you do one thing for your garden this winter, get out there and spread a few inches of mulch around.  We’re partial to our Happy Frog Soil Conditioner—give it a try and let us know what you think.  We pack it with beneficial microbes, earthworm castings, bat guano, and forest humus.  It really is a meal for your garden, and a nourishing meal is exactly what plants need to keep them going through the winter.

A good mulch will increase drainage and prevent rot; suppress weeds; help control erosion; support healthy root growth; protect tender plants against frost; and give earthworms something to munch on.  What’s not to like?
