Top 5 Reasons to Use Mulch & Some Popular Varieties
Hi folks. Here’s my top 5 reasons to use mulch on our garden beds. Have also done a quick run through some of the more popular types of mulch folks like to use on their gardens. Most don’t cost much & many can be found for free if you’re prepared to put in a bit of effort to collect them.
Have included a poll for you to vote on your favourite mulch, just to see what’s the most popular type used by the YouTube grow your own community.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all,
Rob
