 The
organic garden’s secret weapon is mulch, says gardening expert
Mark Cullen. “Each spring I spread a 10-centimetre layer of
finely ground cedar or pine bark over my perennial beds and around
shrubs and roses. Nothing holds moisture like it, and it also reduces
weeds in the first year by at least 90 per cent!” Find out more
about gardening organically when Mark Cullen presents the Ecological
Garden Primer on Thursday, March 13 at 2 p.m. at Canada Blooms. |
