New small softcover book, 108 pages. Published 2011.

Mulch is truly miraculous stuff! It saves water, protects and enriches the soil, suppresses weeds, promotes healthy plants, and to top it off, much of it is free. The range of materials is enormous and many of them are just lying around begging to be used. Updated and revised, The Mulch Book tells you all about mulch: what it is, where to get it, how to use it and how it works.

The main part of the book is the A-Z of Mulch, which describes many different mulch materials and their uses, together with mulching techniques. There are tips on how to mulch different parts of your garden and which mulches to use for a smart look in small spaces. This little book, delightfully illustrated, will show you how to make gardening easier—the mulch does the hard work, leaving more time for you to relax and enjoy your garden.

Contents include :

• How to use this book
• The miracle of mulch
• The down-to-earth science of mulch
• Where do you get it?
• Laying down mulch
• A to Z of mulch
