I get a lot of questions every year about mulch, about how to use it, when to use it, which kind to use. And today we'll talk about all that, but also even more important about what goes on in the soil beneath that mulch layer when you mulch with an organic material.  My guest today to explain all that is Bill Fonteno, Professor Emeritus of Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University and former technical advisor to the U.S. Mulch and Soil Council, the industry trade association.

A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – May 23, 2022 – Bill Fonteno on Mulch

Soil is an enigma wrapped in puzzle lost in a maze. In this story I talk with my friend Professor Bill Fonteno to try and find some truth about soil. We discuss what is soil, what is media, and get some insight to the conversation surrounding peat moss.    For more on Professor Fonteno's work Bill Fonteno | Horticultural Science | NC State University (ncsu.edu)
