January may give the first glimpses of new growth, and with it, provide some much-needed early inspiration to get out into the garden. If you haven’t gotten around to it, one useful job you can do in January is mulching, but it comes with a warning that it must only be done in optimal conditions.
Mulching is a hugely beneficial task to do each year. It is a seasonal job we always did annually in gardens I worked in, and I continue to do it on my plot at home. However, you may look out at your garden this month and wonder whether to mulch or not, so when can you mulch in January?
