I finally got the mulch on the entrance garden to the house. Bit by bit makes a big job easy. It certainly does make a difference, easy on the eye water saving and feeding the soil plus a little extra warmth in soil temperature. Only another 30 cubic meters to go for the summer water savings!

    It makes a big difference in appearance and keeps the soil healthy. In hot weather, like we are experiencing this summer , the ground underneath the mulch stays moist longer . Harry

    Nah, mild-as down here mate!

    My little forest that I started planting out 5 years ago has almost become self mulching. The wallabies have eaten the grass down to nubs and moss is taking over in the increasing shade of the trees. Getting to the stage now where planting out understory palms is looking promising.

    I imagine mulch breaks down pretty quickly in your climate Richard?
