Once again, a very informative video that I can put into practice. Who would have thought that you could recycle a pizza box in such a beneficial way! Thanks Mark.

Happy gardening Marc 🌴🌾🌻

[@lelandshanks3590]

We've tried both of the mulches, and yes folks the work very well.

[@iamorganicgardening]

Thanks for sharing your results with us all.

[@barbarayorkwoodside3716]

I was thankful to have my shade cloth handy in a quick pinch! I’m outside Albany NY and it hit 98 degrees. I’m concerned it will be a drought year. Ugh.

[@iamorganicgardening]

That's Hot, I have the same fear about a drought.

[@DV-ol7vt]

Wow that’s hotter than I was here in Texas, we hit 90 degrees. Luckily we have a earlier start on planting and my tomatoes plants are already loaded with green tomatoes. I’m heavily mulched and blight is a constant battle so is rust on beans. Fire ants and squash bugs are never ending

[@iamorganicgardening]

Thank You for sharing what it is like to garden in your area. I am proud of you do so well.

[@juneshannon8074]

90 degrees sure is hot but Adelaide, South Australia, where I am, it is heading for over a week of 100 and up. We have had such a traumatic gardening year with a late, late summer and now in the fall disastrous heat. My tomatoes and beans have died, the capsicums are scorched despite having lots to drink. No matter where you live every area has its challengers. It’s beating those challenges that keeps us coming back. Australia too is battling with fire ants but fortunately not in my area. All the best from a 76 year old “sometimes” green thumb.

[@sonnyamoran7383]

Must be nice. We've had 90+ fir 3 months already. Afternoon rains have finally began and that helps immensely.

[@iamorganicgardening]

Glad to hear the rain is some good news for you all. Thanks

[@jeremycoulbourn3892]

Love this. I’m trying winter rye/ hay as a mulch this year! I used chipped leaves last year and don’t forget about them WOOD chips!

[@iamorganicgardening]

Sounds great! THANK YOU for sharing

[@evelinalynch6021]

What kind of mulch should I use

[@raysonracette465]

What's your opinion on Milky Spore?

[@gardenstatesowandsew]

Thank you. Happy gardening

[@iamorganicgardening]

Have a great garden day. Thanks

[@lauranyc4966]

My neighbor orders so much stuff online and pizza so there are so many boxes every week. As I heard only 5% of recycle gets recycled 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now I will use her boxes too 😁 Thank you 🙏🏻

[@iamorganicgardening]

Great to Hear. I even think % is a high number. Very Sad.

[@lauranyc4966]

@@iamorganicgardening probably 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@sueguidry4216]

Can i use grass clipping in my garden instead of leaves?

[@iamorganicgardening]

Yes, Great mulch also.

[@nchestercountynews4955]

I have a pond, I've been using a pool skimmer and collecting duckweed as mulch.

[@iamorganicgardening]

That is very interesting. Good idea. Thanks for sharing

[@raysonracette465]

You're Awesome

[@johnkundla8179]

Can you use straw as mulch

[@iamorganicgardening]

You have to be safe using straw lately. Must test it first for something called Grazon Herbicide, It is a weed kill farmers use to spray they fields of straw. It will kill your garden for years/

[@jheli22]

Do you buy the leaf mold or use leaves from your farm?

[@iamorganicgardening]

My town I live in brings in 100s of truck load of Fall leaves for FREE for me.

[@VSFilly]

Kentucky has had rain but not southern Ohio! In a hot and dry spell here.

[@iamorganicgardening]

THANK YOU for sharing that with us all.

[@VSFilly]

@@iamorganicgardening we are in Highland Cty (Greenfield, Oh).

[@johnpaul6888]

I mulch with various materials but I am wondering if grass clippings/ homemade hay would offer adequate protection?.

[@iamorganicgardening]

Yes it will, both of them.

[@XroorX]

Sprinkle some diatomaceous earth under the mulch. Trace amounts of silicate in the DE will increase elasticity of the tomatoes cell wall, reducing drought stress…getting a Silicate specific supplements are not necessary as its $$$$$$, and you need very little amount

[@iamorganicgardening]

Will look into this. Thanks

[@XroorX]

@@iamorganicgardening i mulched Roma tomatoes by using bedding straw from livestock dusted with DE, and the patch experienced less Fusarium wilt and held up when temps got so hot the neighbors hens were dying.

[@sararampton654]

Thanks for the tip…just did this today after reading what you wrote

[@kathynix6552]

Interesting. If the mulch is from the chicken coop in which DE was used there may be enough still in there

[@RandyFelts2121]

Did you guys have a lot of smoke? I sprinkle grass on the base. Not heavy though.

[@iamorganicgardening]

Yes, Lots of smoke. Thanks

[@RuralRuins]

great video, thanks. also, don't forget shade cloth on the hottest of days or weeks

[@iamorganicgardening]

Great Idea., THANK YOU kindly.

[@deborawiliiams4864]

Thank you soooo much

[@iamorganicgardening]

THANK YOU too.
