Mulch is Hailed as New
Wonder Aid to Garden
By spreading a mulch once, the
| gardener saves many hoars of
cultivating.
Since research workers began
to test traditional garden prac
tices, they have rewritten the
rules about cultivation, fertiliza
tion, and transplanting. But an
ancient practice about which
, they grow more enthusiastic ev
ery year is summer mulching.
Long ago gardeners discov
ered that while die leaves of a
plant demand sun, the soil pre
fers shade. Except for a tree,
there are few plants which can
fill this prescription without as
r sistance. So some gardeners be
gan to cover the ground in which
low plants grew with straw, :
leaves, lawn clippings or ma
nure, and more recently with i
paper, sheet aluminum and even
concrete.
Many reasons have been given :
for this practice, that it keeps j
moisture in die soil, keeps down i
weeds, and lowers soil tempera- 1
I ture. Most recent is the claim 1
’ that it prevents erosion, because 1

heavy rain falling directly «v
the soil sends up dust which is
blown away, to the garden’s
loss. This is advanced by a gov
ernment bulletin.
The type of mulch which Is
now recommended excludes pa
per, sheet aluminum, concrete
or any other covering which does
not give free access to the soil
for both air and water. Straw,
Waves, dried lawn clippings, cut
weeds, manure, ground-up corn
cobs, sawdust, any such mate
rial not Joxice to plants, will
serve to shade the soil, keep it
cool, retain moisture and keep
down weeds, while allowing free
access to air and water, much
to the benefit of both plants and
gardener.
Even the modern type of cul
tivation, which stirs the soil only
an hich deep, breaking up the
crust and destroying weeds in
infancy, becomes unnecessary
with a mulch.
“Men who have gardened for
years, but who were not taught
to use mulches continuously, ex
press surprise at what a won
derful help they have found at
last,’* says the government bul
letin.
The earlier mulches are ap
plied the better, though their
greatest vslue comes later in
the summer. Tomatoes espe
cially need their protection, to
prevent extreme dryness in the
soil, which causes blossom end
rot in the fruit. But the new idea
is that all crops will benefit by a !
mulch, including the flowers in
your border.
Ground com cobs and saw
dust are both likely to draw
nitrogen from the soil to feed
the bacteria which cause their
decay. To prevent this a nitro
gen plant food should be mixed
with the mulching material. All
material of organic origin which
is used for mulching can tfe
spaded into the soil at the end of
the season and will help improve
the soil texture and humus con
tent.
Springs won the deciding game.
White and Matthews hurled splen
did ball for Perquimans, but costly
errors played a major role in both of
their defeats.
