Mulch, Potting Mix, Compost, Rock

Mulching is the practice of covering the soil surface with a material that smothers weeds and delays the evaporation of moisture from the soil. The right mulch can just about eliminate the need to pull weeds. Mulches also prevent the weed seeds from reaching the soil.

By covering the soil surface, mulches reduce the amount of sunlight and wind that reaches the soil, so water evaporates from the soil more slowly. The soil stays cooler, so the roots stay cooler.

A mulch derived from plants (such as grass clippings, cocoa shells, and shredded mulch) can also add organic matter to the soil, improving its structure and fertility and encouraging a healthy population of microorganisms.
