Mulching Your Garden
Mulching helps to control weeds, retain soil moisture and reduce erosion and stormwater runoff. This results in reduction of chemical applications, as well as, fewer inputs from you. Recycled yard waste is provided free in various county and city locations (visit http://www.pinellascounty.org/utilities/mulch-sites.htm for locations). Another alternative is to use Melaleuca or some other non-cypress, enviromentally friendly mulch.
