Common use of Mulch Clause in Contracts

Mulch. Using mulch in your garden plot has many benefits. As organic mulches break down, they add valuable nutrients to your soil. You will need less fertilizer. They also help conserve water. a) Organic mulches, such as compost, leaves, straw, and shredded bark are highly recommended to conserve water and add nutrients to the soil. b) Non-biodegradable mulches, such as stone, carpet and artificial turf, are prohibited. Plastic and porous weed blocker covers are permitted, but need to be secured to the ground to prevent them from blowing away. c) Composting plant materials is an excellent way to reduce trash and conserve nutrients. Do not compost food scraps (such as meat, oils, or fat), as these attract animals. d) Avoid fresh manure which may contain weed seeds, smells bad, and may have sanitary issues that could affect neighboring plots
