To do this, the mulch was turned back and the surface for a space of three feet all around the tree was loosened by hoe or mattock, and the mulch was then returned. The trees were vigorous, and their leaves had the polish of health, in spite of the dry July and August.
I would like to know if it would be best to use barnyard compost over the surface as a mulch, or would it be best to use plain straw for that purpose?
One weed will furnish seed enough to fill the entire garden with plants next year if let alone. If the season happens to be very dry, some of your plants Dahlias, for instance, will have to be watered if you want them to amount to anything. These must have moisture at their roots in order to flower well. Other plants may be able to get along with a mulch of grass-clippings from the lawn.
