Mulching for Low Maintenance Gardening




Mulching With Shredded Leaves  By Beth Reis

I love gardening! I also love walking, swimming, biking and reading a good book during the summer. For some reason though, I can't seem to find the time to do necessary chores like laundry and cleaning! Could it be due to all the time I spend outdoors and in my gardens?!

I Love Gardening!

When I was biking this morning (know, I did seem to find the time to do that!) I started thinking about some of the ways I have learned to be a low maintenance gardener. Or at least lower maintenance one. That may sound like an oxymoron, but when you have a large vegetable garden, thirteen flower beds and well over fifty flower pots, it's a good idea to find ways to reduce your garden maintenance!
