        The importance of Organic Mulch can never be over emphasised   
        Mulch  retains  moisture  and  eliminates  most weeds, while   
        maintaining  a  healthy  soil  structure  by  encouraging  a   
        vigorous worm population.                                      
                                                                   
        DO use  Pine bark, Compost,  Mushroom compost, Stable straw,  
        Leaves, Grass clippings, Wood chips, Wood shavings, Sawdust,
        and Seaweed for mulch material.

        DON'T use  grass clippings  and  stable straw too thickly, as
        they will generate heat.

        DO hose down seaweed to wash excess salt away before placing
        on the garden.

        DON'T use pine needles or gum tree leaves too thickly, as the
        material will  form  a  mat which will not allow moisture to
        pass through.

        DO place mulch on the garden to arround four inches deep but
        not too deep that water and air cannot penetrate.
