When should I apply mulch for optimal citrus growth?
As a gardener passionate about growing organic citrus on my balcony in Paris, I'm trying to figure out the timing for applying mulch. I've read that the right timing can significantly influence the growth and health of the trees. I've mulched in early spring before, and it seemed to help with moisture retention. However, I'm wondering if there are other specific times during the growing season that are more beneficial for applying or replenishing mulch. Should I be considering temperature fluctuations or rainfall patterns? If anyone has insights on seasonal timings specifically for citrus and other fruit trees, I would greatly appreciate your advice. What experiences have you had with timing, and how has it affected your harvests?
