Choice of mulch and disease prevention

LMinAL · May 12, 2014

Well, I mulched one bed with my clippings and was going to mulch one with straw and the other with cypress mulch, but my husband brought home 2 bales of straw. That amount pretty much covered my entire garden, so I guess I will be saving the cypress experiment for next year.

Good luck to everyone!! Hope this year the diseases are at least manageable for us all. I have blooms on all my tomato plants now and am excited to see what the season will bring.
