Hey steemit members. @elsa-queen here. Farming has a lot of simple methods. That can really help crops grow better. One of them is mulching. It is basically covering the soil with things like dry leaves, straw or grass. A lot of farmers use this. Because it helps the soil stay moist for longer. It reduces weeds. It keeps the plants healthier too.

I like how easy and natural this method is, yet it makes such a big difference in farming and gardening. Just thought I’d share this with you all today.

*Explain in detail the term mulching*

Mulching is a popular agricultural and horticultural practice. In which the soil around plants is covered with various materials such as dry leaves, straw, hay, wood shavings or plastic sheeting.

Mulching not only saves water. But also prevents unwanted weeds from growing. When the soil is covered. The less sunlight reaches the grass. It causing fewer weeds to grow. It also balances the soil temperature. So that the plant roots can be protected from extreme heat or cold.
