I was always taught to use mulch around all my bedding plants and in the pathways of my garden. This was to help eliminate weeds but, over time I've found that a good bed of mulch can make all the difference in the world in your garden when it comes to watering and keeping the ground moist. If you will lay cardboard down on your pathways and then cover them with straw, leaves or a combination of both you will find that your watering will be less and your plants will have less stress as the summer heat wears on. Make sure you mulch deep, at least 4 inches and 6 inches is better. Also make sure to fill in as the season goes on.
Quantities are limited.
