Mulching is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot in the gardening world, but it's something worth learning about in your garden as the benefits can be huge.
Mulching is when you add a thick layer of organic matter (usually manure, compost or bark) to the surface of your soil. Not only does this serve to protect plants from winter climes, but it can also smother weeds, retain soil moisture, and plenty more besides.
