One of our favorite things about gardening is watching all the changes that happen in our yard as the seasons change. We love watching our raised beds go from full of soil, to full of seedlings, to full of large healthy plants that give us food. We also love planting trees and watching how the whole yard grows after that tree starts to provide shade. What we usually fail to notice, though, is how much our soil has changed since we first started gardening.
Two years ago, our yard was full of rock-hard dirt and gravel. It was embarrassing to look at, and not enjoyable to stand in, either. There was no shade, and everything but some oleander died. Digging a hole for a plant was usually an hour-long ordeal of chiseling away at the caliche with a shovel. It wasn't until we started applying mulch that we really noticed a difference.
Today we want to show you what has happened since we started laying down mulch in our yard. After adding layers of leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, and wood chips, our soil transformed. Now digging a hole takes only minutes! Our plants are healthier and we don't have to water as frequently to keep them happy.
Look around your neighborhood and see what mulch you have access to. Is a neighbor mowing their lawn or raking leaves? Is a landscaper chipping some tree branches? Ask if you can have it! Your plants will thank you. :) And as an added bonus, we get less bugs inside our house now because they have a better habitat under the mulch outside!
