Today we go shopping, go to the supermarket to buy the product nature that left the fall as it passes through the groves, pine forests, woods and gardens: dry leaves tavo to prepare a good padding.
Its mission is to insulate plant roots from cold and winter frosts retaining heat in winter while in summer to retain moisture does not evaporate. It will also protect the soil structure being damaged by heavy rains and if it is a natural mulch nourish the soil as they decompose go so we must also take into account replace it with some frequency.
Their preparation is to extend to within about 5-10 cm around the foot of the plants, shrubs or trees a layer of leaves, bark, straw, peat, sawdust or black plastic.
Natural materials are used in gardening and eventually end up decomposing providing nutrients to the soil while the black plastic is used for long periods to more than one growing season and orchards where the surface to be covered is extensive and no matter both its aesthetic appearance. It is advisable to place these plastic as tight as possible so that the water does not puddle up and punch it to allow penetration into the ground.
The optimal time extend on plants is at the end of spring because if we did we would withhold the winter cold before there even on earth and if we did later arriving late to prevent the growth of weeds.
