What’s the best thing for ground to grow a garden when there is a drought?
Mulch your plantings. A 2- to 3-inch layer of organic mulch, such as shredded leaves or bark placed on bare ground, shades the soil and slows evaporation. As a bonus, it makes the soil more drought resistant as it breaks down. Spread mulch across the ground Using mulch to kill weeds is effective and has many other benefits for the plants you want to keep. Plus, it helps make your flowerbeds and gardens look lovely. Mulch suppresses the germination of some weed seeds by blocking sunlight, which hinders photosynthesis.
