Do you mulch above or below, the Garden Grid? The answer: keep mulch under your Garden Grid 👇 Why? This lets you continue to use the planting squares to guide your plant spacing. 1️⃣ The mulch will last longer than most crops, so you’ll want to know where to put new ones. 2️⃣ This let’s the water streams from the Garden Grid continue to reach all of your plants 3️⃣ The Garden Grid helps hold the mulch in place so it doesn’t get blown around by wind (super helpful for straw for hay mulch) Mulching gives your garden the benefit of soil insulation. It helps keep the surface soil cooler on hot day and warmer on cold days. It helps you soil retain more moisture, which is great for hot summers and/or dry climates. And it helps prevent heavy rains from splashing soil up onto your plants which can lead to soil-born diseases. You don’t have to mulch, but it’s almost entirely a net positive for growing a better garden. Just be sure to put it under your Garden Grid for the best results 🙌 #gardengrid #gardens #gardening #squarefootgardening #gardentips #gardeningtips
