Winter MuIches Suve
Home Plonfings

Mulches will give you added as
surance that your landscape plant
ings will survive the rigors of
winter They help maintain more
even soil moisture and tempera-
ture, and reduce the effects of
freezing and thawing.
Kent county agent George Vapaa
says the three most common
mulches available in Delaware are
corncobs, sawdust and peat moss.
If you use corncobs, they should
be cracked into smaller pieces and
applied four to six inches deep
around the plant.
Sawdust should be aged or some
what rotted before it's applied to
the soil. Vapaa advised not to use
fresh or green" sawdust If you
intend to leave the sawdust or
corncob mulch on beyond the win
ter, you'll want to add some nitro
gen to the soil to replace the loss
of nitrogen when these materials
begin to decay.
Peat moss is more expensive
than either corncobs or sawdust,
but it doesn't need to be applied
as thickly. You can get good pro-
lection with an application of two
or three inches. One suggestion
for easier handling of peat moss
wet the bale thoroughly before you
begin to spread it.
