This site cannot cover everything about gardening but IS specialized to the deep mulch method. I have developed many tricks over the last 33 years and almost all of this information can be applied to conventional gardens as well. I also limit our expertise to organic gardening and do not condone newspaper, plastic mulch, or straw/hay/manure that may have Roundup in it.

Any suggestions/tips/requests please send me an email: daniel at mulchgardening dot com

REMEMBER: When the leaves fall it is time to load up your mulch garden.
