Of mulrhing that the atmosphere
must not be excluded from the surface
of the soil. Around trees the sur

perennial Towering plants, must be
not only mulched with light mate

the plants. Mulching for winter pro-
lection is often done so heavily as to
kill the plants and this may occur
by using too much Of light materi-

latter packs down away from th
crown Of the plant, thus leaving il
