Why You Don’t Mulch the Same All Season Long

Why You Don’t Mulch the Same All Season Long In the beginning of the season, you mulch everything. Your plants are tiny. The soil is exposed. You want to block out weeds, hold moisture, and protect that ground—so you lay down a lot. Cardboard, wood chips, straw, you name it. But as the season goes on, things shift. Your plants get bigger. Their leaves start to canopy. They shade the soil on their own, and suddenly—you don’t need nearly as much mulch. Nature starts doing the job for you. Then fall creeps in… you start clearing beds… and guess what? 🟤 Bare soil again. And now, you need mulch again—whether it’s for fall crops, cover crops, or just to protect the soil until spring. It’s this constant cycle of cover–growth–clear–cover again. ✔️ Farm & Field Takeaway: Mulching isn’t one and done. It’s a seasonal rhythm. Spring: heavy mulch. Summer: plants take over. Fall: beds clear, mulch returns. Learn to watch your garden like a system that breathes.
