- Q: What is the proper way to fertilize my vegetable garden?
- Q: What should I use as mulch for my vegetable plants?
- A: A good mulch is a valuable addition to any vegetable garden. Mulches conserve soil moisture, allow rain to penetrate the soil slowly, reduce weed growth, modify the soil temperature, and may help to decrease disease problems. For specific vegetable mulching information visit RCE fact sheet FS058, Mulches for Vegetables.
