mulch & mulching
A mulch is a loose covering of material placed on the surface of cultivated soil, best applied in spring and autumn when the soil is moist and warm. Mulching helps soil retain moisture in summer, prevents weeds from growing and protects the roots of plants in winter. It can also give your garden a neat, tidy appearance and reduce the amount of time you need to spent on tasks such as watering and weeding.
Wood chippings are particularly useful as a mulch. Being biodegradable, they break down gradually to release nutrients into the soil and help improve its structure. Further layers can be added when the material has fully rotted down.
natural meadow sowing
seeding
Wildflower meadows are an increasingly popular alternative to lawns and borders, especially on previously overgrown areas that can be taken back to bare soil, providing a stunning display for many months, or years if you opt for a perennial meadow.
Sow in spring on ground that had been prepared late the previous autumn and your meadow will be fully established by summer!
wildlife
