The Organic Way to Mulching by the editors of Organic Gardening and Farming

Serious about your garden? Then you want results. You don’t want pretty pictures on a package or fancy gadgets or combination weedkiller-fertilizers. You want a soil that is high in humus - the key to fertility and productivity 

That’s what mulching is all about.

Mulch is a layer of material (preferably organic) placed in the soil surface that can boost your garden results and give you and your family better tasting, more plentiful garden yields. How does it work? On your next walk in the woods, look at the ground, at the covering of leaves, twigs, pine needles and even rocks. Put your hand beneath that covering and feel the cool, moist earth.

That is what mulching is all about. 

This book will tell you what mulching is and how it works. You’ll learn how to conserve moisture, stabilize soil structure and temperature, hold down weeds and, ultimately, build soil fertility the way nature does.
