Mulching is a key technique in permaculture that significantly improves soil health by retaining moisture, suppressing weeds, and adding essential organic matter. By applying a layer of organic mulch, such as dry vetiver,straw grass, leaves or compost, you enrich the soil as the mulch decomposes, promoting healthy microbial activity and improving fertility. Mulch also helps regulate soil temperature, preventing extremes that can harm plant roots, and reduces soil erosion, particularly in sloped areas. In permaculture, the goal is to create a self- sustaining ecosystem, and mulching is an easy yet powerful way to support soil regeneration while conserving resources. By incorporating mulching into your garden, you’re
not only enhancing plant growth but also contributing to a more resilient sustainable environment.
