RE: Mulch


I like using a black mulch around the plants when they are small.   This
absorbs the heat and keeps the soil temperature up, especially in the
Spring.  Also it will help hold the needed moisture around the base of the
plant.

>Hi List,

Has anyone ever used cocca bean shells? Good or bad?  
My parents used it on there flower garden this year
and it seems to hold the moisture well.
