Did you know that it is better to put lawn clippings, leafy prunings and leaf litter in the compost and let it break down naturally, rather then using it as a mulch?

Some people like to apply this type of compost as mulch, however it’s in fact better to use coarser materials such as bark or straw for mulching.

Try this: Put compost on first to use it as a soil conditioner or improver, and then add your mulch. Your garden will then start to reap the benefits that come with you being a mulch master!
