Mulches provide instant protection for bare soils. You can
apply them in the fall, if you waited too long to plant your cover
crop. This gets you quick protection from winter rains. In the
summer, mulches protect soil life from the hot summer sun, and help
retain valuable moisture. But it's important to pick the right
mulch for the right kind of garden. We sit down with a Master
Composter to discuss the different kinds of mulch available for
purchase - or free in your own backyard.
