The Mulch Protection Program

Happy_frog_soil_cond_bag As the temperatures drop, mulch is more important than ever.  One of the best things you can do to get your garden through the winter is to add 2-4 inches of mulch around shrubs, trees, and perennials. 

Has the vegetable garden gone dormant?  Add six inches as a top-dressing, cover with grass clippings or dried leaves, and plant directly into it next spring. A good layer of mulch will help suppress weeds, prevent soil erosion, and add valuable nutrients that feed the plants at the root zone. 

One bale of Happy Frog Soil Conditioner will cover 12-15 square feet of bare ground.  It’s the best investment you can make this winter.
