The Mulch Book: A Complete Guide for Gardeners

As a novice gardener, I found this book to be extremely informative and inspiring in my quest to create the perfect mulch. The quick reference guide is very useful in that it provides necessary information about each type of mulch, such as decomposition speed, soil moisture retention and relative cost. I also found the section of definitions especially helpful in trying to determine the best mulch for my garden. It's amazing how many different common products can be used to create a mulch that is rich in nutrients, appealing to the eye and terrific in water retention. Overall, I view this book as a strong addition to my library of gardening books.
