  1. I’d like a mulcher for Christmas. I have a sycamore tree with hard leathery leaves that never break down. I think chopping them would help. Also a ton of dead sticks and branches. Without mulching them, it would take 20 years for them to go to soil around here. I put bails around my garden for the winter, and growing cold weather crops here in East Texas. I still have tomatoes. I just cover them at night if it gets really cold. I hope to make green tomato relish.

  2. Hey Wayland! Great post! 👍 The deep mulch garden is amazing…wish my back would let me do so. I'm learning to garden smarter so I can continue grow good food for my friends and family.😃

  3. I am North Alabama zone 7b. Y'all get a lot more cold that we do. It may balance out with humidity in the Summer. Thanks

  4. How much mulch – more. lol You should have seen my 25-yr-old son's face when he told me he thought the wood chips on the pathways should be 3-4" to keep the grass killed back – and I told him more like 10-12"!! lol My husband got a friend of his who has a tree company to drop a large load of black locust chips off for me (see, that is the kind of present I was begging to get.) It should take a while for the ground creatures to break that particular hardwood down. I saw a gardener in the UK who said that if you put wood chips on your paths that the micro-organisms will connect better between your raised beds across the pathways! He also said wood chips in the beds is great, too. Right now, I have to stick with leaves and hay, though. I hope to get a lot more of all of it eventually!
