How can I select the best organic mulch for my flower garden?
I'm really focused on maintaining an organic flower garden in my backyard in central Germany. I’ve been using a mix of shredded leaves and straw as mulch, but I’m curious about which specific organic materials might provide the best benefits for flower health and soil nutrients. I've read that some mulches can actually attract pests or lead to disease if they're not suitable. My garden setup is fairly diverse, with a mix of perennials and annuals, and I want to make sure that whatever mulch I choose will promote the vibrant colors and health of my blooms! Can anyone help with recommendations for specific organic materials, or share their experiences with different types of mulches?
