1. Well, I mulch every year.

This year’s mulch is next year’s compost ... which is why my clay is no longer just clay, but nice soil in the gardens. I have over 25 garden areas, which I consider “done” once they’re mulched and trimmed (prune after bloom) for the summer. No, I’m not “done” yet this year, but closer today than yesterday. Of course, I still have to go around to pull weeds and dead head roses regularly, so it is definitely an everyday job!
