Can you give me some good sources for information about mulching and different mulching materials?
Below are many links to information about mulch, including several from Pacific Northwest government agencies. Explore these sites for lots of other useful information about gardening! There are also many helpful books on the subject, such as Mulch It! by Stu Campbell (Storey Books, 2001) and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s guide, Healthy Soils for Sustainable Gardens edited by Niall Dunne (2009).
There is an excellent introductory article on the Brooklyn Botanical Garden website entitled “How to Use Mulch”.
