She is mulching, mulching, mulching! Let's look to her for inspiration in our gardens for building great soil.
She places leaves around the base of trees so that there is ongoing habitat building for insects and micro organisms. The trees recycle their nutrients back into the soil around their feeder roots.
Everyone is mulching! Trees, shrubs and plants all drop leaves. Then they help collect the leaves and hold them in place on windy days and helping prevent them from sliding downhill if they are on a hillside.
Even evergreen shrubs and trees helping mulch by collecting on trees leaves and preventing them from flying away.
Mulch collects in basins, between chunks of wood, rocks and stumps. Mother nature peppers her landscape with texture and each variation is a chance for mulch to collect.
Mulch comes in all shapes and sizes from leaves and twigs to big giant trees!
Here is a stump that has a perfect mulch pocket. Apparently it is a perfect environment for growing a new shrub!
