Comments on: Mulching Like I’ve Never Mulched Before http://www.adekun.com/blog/mulching-like-ive-never-mulched-before Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the organic vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan's least populous prefecture.

As yet to visit Ky?sh?, but enthused having read about it. Nice to see kaki (persimmon) being grown further field. It was a surprise to see them here, strung up and left for weeks to improve. I could certainly use some sort of machine to process the stuff for the compost bin, my hands are really beginning to smart.<br/>I wish I thought about watering the ground first. In addition to making sense, it might have helped stopping the stuff blowing around. It was really windy by lunchtime. Fortunately only a little seemed to take off.

The UK has not had any rain for weeks and the soil is developing deep cracks. We pour some water on before we apply the mulch. We have been busy mulching too - putting grass clipping on everything.

I've just finished my mulching. I snag free mulch whenever I can. It rots away fast in our heat and humidity. First ground up Christmas trees from Austin's recycling program and then a truck full of ground up tree trimmings from the company who came to trim our trees out of the power lines. <br/><br/>Not all of the US is under snow at this time, of course; down here in Texas it's been in the 20-30 C range for a couple of months. I've had my tomatoes in for six weeks. I used to live in Oita-ken, and overall, my part of Texas is always a bit warmer any time of year. Lovely rice hull mulch. I’ve just finished my mulching.
