WEBSITE: heirloomseedsaving.com/ Learn how mulches will create the right PH for your soil. This is also a great way to get rid of weeds. By adding the correct organic matter; you can have either, bacterial dominated or fungal dominated soils. Mulching is the best thing you can do for your soil and thereby you give your plants the best head-start they could possibly get. Nature really knows best when it comes to creating the best soil environments and conditions. Known as the soil food web, it is the delivery system "for your plants". It is a mat of living microbes that stretches through the entire layer of a healthy soil. Connecting your plants with any food source that falls on top of the soil. (Called mulching) This is a great example how nature works in harmony with all the different kingdoms. For example: Plant, animal, fungi. This living mat surrounds the roots of your plants, it even attaches itself to your individual plant roots, thereby possibly connecting plants together in a healthy way. Trees do this allot. Even the PH is adjusted by ether fungi or bacteria, in order to accommodate acidic or alkaline loving species, again across the different kingdoms. Of course this is done for there own benefit. But it does create a neat way in how nature allows everything to survive, in multi layered, connected and ever expanding food-chains. It is interesting that nature; by creating the soil food web; is doing everything, that we as gardeners try to live up to. Digging the soil, for drainage. Digging so that we have loose soils, so that our plant roots can spread out well. Feeding the soil with mulch, just like compost really. Pest control that actually works. Many pests don't have the niche, as it is taken up by what actually belongs there. Plus plenty of predators around. Just go out on a wet morning and see how many spider-webs there are. Growing giant plants; healthy woodlands and ecosystems, is one thing that nature really takes the prize! Well as long as we don't interfere.
