The benefits derived from mulching

In the soil which Is decided advantage
in dry time, The soil therefore does
not bNkc, but remains open and porous
for the free admission Of air, whilo tho
earth worms and microbes are doing
their worl, to enrich the soil. Tho mulch
used gradually decays and furnishes
needed humus, It also aids materially
IN the process Of nitrlcotion-that Ia, in
