Living Mulch - do plants compete for nutrients and water? Confusion over living mulch is rampant, just like nature. Speaking of, does nature plant herself out in neat little rows? Does she get out a ruler and measure where another plant may grow? Is she like a great Police song singing "don't stand so close to me?". No, none of those things. But why? Because nature knows best. Listen in here about how great a living mulch is and how and why it's a great thing to do. And some great advice on soil. Gardening made accessible with wonderful gardening teacher and author Kath Irvine. With her 20 years plus experience, Kath sits down in a live to air interview with Catherine and discusses all things gardening.
