Mulching.

31/5/2016

0 Comments

 
We've just finished mulching around the potatoes to keep the weeds down, we also  mulched as we cleared the grass from the raspberry bed.  It takes a long time  to weed a small area as the couch grass is really entrenched.  When I discussed  mulching with a couple of gardening friends they were of the opinion that it isn't always a good idea as it provides a lovely place for slugs to 'hang out'.   As they say nothing is ever straight forward!
We've  also put some coffee grounds around a few of the plants to see if it keeps the slugs at bay. Slugs seem to taking centre stage in this blog but they are a on-going issue for most allotment holders.
