In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Huw Richards addresses the benefits of mulch, especially for the dry summer days when trying to retain moisture as best as possible.
Mulching is one of the best ways to cut down on maintenance time and give your plants a boost – this is a good article on everything you need to know to get started written by Sarah Giles
A modern, practical guide on how to grow and make your own skincare products, no matter how big your garden. Natural Skincare For All Seasons written by Silvava De Soissons and we are honoured to be mentioned inside this fantastic book
I think we could all try and use a few less plastic flower pots when hardening off before transplanting or buying new seedlings - at least we can try and recycle! Pleased and proud to see a chapter on Crop Protection with a paragraph written on the biodegradable products we provide. Nothing finer than seeing one’s name in print. A huge thanks to the author Fiona Thackeray for including us in the book "Plastic Free Gardening"
A nice snippet in Kitchen Garden Magazine about the magic of paper mulch.
Many of you will be moving your seedlings outside for to harden off or maybe you are preparing to transplant. Hardened off plants are less likely to suffer from shock, slow growth and wilting leaves than seedlings that have been transplanted directly to soil from a cosy environment of a greenhouse, polytunnel or windowsill.
Introducing your seedlings to the wind, fluctuating spring temperatures, or even a late frost whilst in their transplant pots will further strengthen and increase your chances of a healthy plant. When you are ready to transplant to help your plants further you may want to consider laying mulch on top of your raised bed or prepared soil. Mulch will help further by regulating soil temperature and keeping the soil moist. Our natural organic mulch rolls come a few sizes and naturally biodegrade over the season, ideal for the organic gardener or market grower.
Simply cut an ‘X’ shaped hole in our biodegradable papers or films and pop the transplants in.
Local garden centres usually have a great range of seedlings plants to transplant - are you trying anything new this year ? We would love to hear from you @mulchorganic
The biggest thank you to Huw Richards for featuring the paper mulch, please click on the image or read more so you can watch his great video he made.
Chuffed as chuffed can be to have Tanya aka Lovely Greens using the heavyweight cornstarch on hedgerows and fruit trees….and for introducing us to the people that follow her. Thank you Tanya!
